Not Lost Part One, Muir Woods Recalled, the Anticipatory Prelude:
I thank God with this
b r e a t h
as I recall
sea-sighing of branch boughs
Muir woods paradise of hills over
babble
ing
brooks
the trickling
streams
our hikes to get
our second wind our
breathless pauses along
paths of the enlightened wandering half-light between
trees
getting
exercise
feel
ing Cool breeze
on faces
cheeks
solitude of being
out
in the middle of nature
close to God
together
renewing like honeymoon
way of being
out in the wild
near
ocean
= the Bay area=
weather so much cooler
so milder
so calm
so peaceful so perfect so forever-forward taking you
everywhere
we ever wanted together
our Existence merged
in the close
in the breath between
Not Lost Part Two, Into The Woods:
Grass Valley's
Tribute Trail
For Deer Creek
After seeing deer up close
and then a larger one up close and curious
staggering outside our glass door
The hike was
Magnificent
Fantastic Journey
--across our minds entwined
the calm of being----
--at ease
----in forested open
branched architecture of
----wild--hike
Cathedral made by God
--the
----suspension bridge
on Deer Creek Tribute Trail
cascading foot--steps
--with--care--to
not slip
----find the firm
--avoid rocks that crack
find a grip
----look out over
= w o w = rocks smooth boulders
nature wins here----
----the brooks, creeks, streams presiding

Journey of life, of faith,
of learning what is love and what isn't,
of learning the difference between
the completely comforting love
that is of eternal, of the Holy Spirit
which we open up to within,
between that Good,
and the different road of measuring by
worldly results empty of that passionately selfless spirit,
that of those this world
in which our spirits,
Travellers,
are merely precious moments passing through
homeward bound.
Where is He, Father, for us, in this blessed challenge
to be life given?
He might say, to each,
to all,
Look up, child
