Up on the mountain

Bird on a wing.

Opening out into a quiet mind, released from a fenced in view.

With a carpet of lace…

bijoux

…and cashmere at my feet, to prickle and smoothe.

Enough space to break…

…into a random leaping run, looping wide…

…before sneaking home to known.

We walked the trails…
…up on the mountain. They keep my mind’s eye aloft even after descending too soon.

  2. After a very long day that started in extreme frustration (all better now, thank you), coming home to these photos and that music feels like massage for the eyes and ears.

    I, too, recommend Flight Behavior.

  3. You always find the most scenic spots…Your doggies are one of the luckiest around being taken to all these amazing walks!

  4. Wow, that's interesting.

    And you know viewing this comment, I'm struck by the similarities between the two of you–writing about place, canine loves and the dance of the small (which is actually quite large) and unassuming but still glory-filled in daily life.

  5. How beautiful! Although the landscape is different I am struck by how many plant species we share with you here in Oregon.
