Walking along the Interurban Trail near Seattle I was lured into the center of this copse as if pulled by a powerful invitation to be at home. In that moment I felt an affinity with nature on a level not often felt before. The copse became a safe hearth and for the moment cares melted in its fire.
Shorn and Unshod
Enter this untrodden space
unshod and enwrap
yourself in the protection
of Verdant Abundance.
