Notes From the Woods
A Scripture
Teachings, parables and insights revealed to me from the woods.
It came to me through weekly walks in the park by my house. Thoughts, wanderings, awarenesses, stories and poetry about the magic and whimsy discovered along the way. The book includes notes taken down in the notes app on my phone. Little glimmers of hope, reconciliation, and authority reveled to me as I wandered through the trails, searching for meaning, and learning to connect to the absolute power and divinity found in Nature and my Self.
Excerpts from the Book:
I
…but the best is when
you just look up
and find one
or out of the corner of your eye,
notice that speck of red peeking through
between
all the colors of brown and tan.
It is fantastical
to spot a woodpecker.
Like luck in a spell
you are casting.
II
Here again,
and it was realized,
That when we slow down
we begin to fill up…
III
So, I followed it
a little white speck in the woods
that floated in front of my face
while I was tapping, quietly
in the shade.
It came down so swiftly
and halted and faltered
in front of my face.
Hello, I thought
where are you going?
