fdelano Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) Life is Free A single tree can hold me spellbound for a long time. Who's counting? A riffle in the river below a stone below the top of the flow entrances me, I wondering what is underneath? What would birds do without trees or fish without riffles? What would I do without them? We look for joy in expensive toys, while all around us are wondrous creations that cost nothing more than our concentration. How do rambling roses last centuries on hillsides below the ruins of a cabin where a young bride had a notion? With time to look, we can see and even gain knowledge of things unknown before we decided to start seeing, not just accepting the world as it seems. How many others have stopped to admire the sheen on the river as it follows the turn below my feet? I hope there were many.
