  1. I love this Charles Simic quote at the top of your page today!
    This poem of yours today is exactly how I feel about being out in nature - it becomes sacred space.

  2. This is so like Emily Dickinson's poem "Some keep the sabbath going to church." Lovely image of birds singing on a beautiful Sunday.
