Looking forward
Into the forest
Finding our way through
the
maelstrom
of trees and tourists circling
the old ones, the giants, the
Sequioas

The life energy
soothing to the mind and soul
the rain
gently tapping on my hat
feeling small
insignificant, and yet
part of it all
Connected
yet apart
from the tree of life
