Contemplating Nature: Pictures, Passages & Haiku

Some of my greatest friends and mentors (in my heart) have been both living and deadwriters from around the world: poets, naturalists, artists, scientists, and philosophers.Their words speak deeply to me--a beacon in the dark--and I am eternally grateful fortheir insight, wisdom and fortitude. Out of gratitude, I have paired brief passages oftheirs with haiku poetry as well as vivid images from Nature evoked by their penetratingobservations and revelations. Whether it's a global pandemic, a personal crisis, oreveryday stress, our own salvation is bound up with Nature's, as Henry D.Thoreaueloquently declares: "In Wildness is the Preservation of the World." Find peace, inspiration and renewal in these pages.tall summer grass /so dry it hums /Dad's death day*it's all over /now that she named it /yarrow*blue jean patches /the sky will always belong /to my mother*zen tea garden -- /taking a long sip /of the red bridge*uncertain future /I rest my head on a stream / of moonlight*the answer is yes no yes breaking wave
