Untrammeled Possibilities and Unexpended Opportunities
....out here is where i was first awakened, awakened to what-where-when and why, awakened to all the un-trammeled possibilities that call my name, awakened to the un-expended opportunities i gather to….
Out here silence starts off as a thing of beauty, but the silence soon passes on to a sound of great talking going on between the different players in this outside play of nature….

I just found by pure accident a website of a pair of artists/cabinet-makers. This is the kind of furniture that leaves nobody indifferent. Either you love it or you can’t stand it. Me? I do confess I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand I drool over those sexy huge and old slabs and the live edges and I do appreciate the craftsmanship required to turn them into art/furniture but, on the other hand, it is not my style of choice.

WoolGathering I Go
....not all who walk know where they are going,not all who wonder know how to use their mind,not all who waunder are lost in the woods of their choice,but then who but a poet can woolgather on paper just as in the forest….
These are the memories I create, ....of waunderings out here in the woods, ....that encompass me on all sides of my environmental up-bringing, ....where often the one doing the dreaming, .....awakens to find that all is more then a dream.̵...
