fdelano Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I see low clouds over mountain ridges and think what a wonderful gift just for me at just this time. I watch leaves move in the wind and see the air stream through my world. Golden finches flit and sit on my feeding troughs of thistle seeds as I become the audience of wonder. I see the blue ridge through miles of air between me on my deck and those imposing bulks unaware of their presence. I see chipmunks skitter inches at a time while I stay still, holding the moment. Life is always in the instant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 A most uplifting and imaginative piece, light and airy yet with a philosophical anchor in the last line that has made my day. I particularly liked "I see the blue ridge through miles/ of air between me on my deck and those/ imposing bulks unaware of their presence." Thanks for sharing. G.

dr_con Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Agreed with G. 'Life is always in the instant' Indeed it is, and how well that instance of an instant is captured. Well done Paco! Juris Quote thegateless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmarti1 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 This piece makes me homesick, paco! Tight, concise, the exact amount of imagery & words. Nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Franklin, you have a great knack for capturing home in a mid-Atlantic/"just below the Mason-Dixon" vernacular that's comfortable and familiar to me. This is America -- I'm there -- and the entire picture feels like home.
