WoodWriting Haiku Thursday's --by RusticWoodArt #74: Wood and I

Godspeed Frank.

-- We must guard our enthusiasm as we would our life - James Krenov

Frank: Our prayers are with you. Our work will outlive us all.

Praise to you for your insite in the workings of wood.

Welcome back, Frank. One of the few things we do need are good friends and you have been a lost friend for quite a while.

-- If you can't joint it, bead it!

The plan is drawn, the tool is sharp, my hand is steady. The wood awaits.

-- The nicer the nice, the higher the price!

Bless you Frank. The sculpture is beautiful and the photo is stunning – and your strength and wisdom: an inspiration!

On a Tree Fallen Across The Road

The tree the tempest with a crash of wood
Throws down in front of us is not bar
Our passage to our journey’s end for good,
But just to ask us who we think we are

Insisting always on our own way so
She likes to halt us in our runners tracks,
And make us get down in a foot of snow
Debating what to do without an ax.

And yet she knows obstruction is in vain
We will not be put off the final goal
We have it hidden in us to attain ,
Not though we have to seize earth by the pole

And, tired of aimless circling in one place ,
Steer straight off after something into space. —- R. Frost

God speed Frank

Thank you, Frank. As always, I find your posts to be inspirational.

Just thinking of you the other day and wondered how you were.

From your word—God Speed.

Like Dick and Karson you’ve been in my prayers. So wonderful to hear from you. Cannot imagine what you’ve been through….all I know if you haven’t been writing you’ve been ill. I’ve missed your walkabouts all the beautiful
scenery shots, but what hit me hardest was your deep appreciation for nature and the art and natural beauty that surrounded you that you so aptly described.God Bless you Frank, and may the Lords light shine upon you. Your friend always, mike

Hello to all;
....I am blessed to know each and every-one of you here and thank you for the greetings.

So as to not cause confusion here, the picture I put up is a sculpture ‘to be’ and waiting//longing for me to look at her, with the eyes of an admirer that longs to create her art being.

Bear with me as I am slow, anemic and have bad and good days….but don’t hold that against me as there is still plenty of mule kick left within me.

GODSPEED
