My roots are buried here.

bookend: Mt. Shasta




Fragrant fern and
Flowers; colors of the heart.
Garden offers life.


See the jungle maze?

Foliage thrives in a riot

Of green, breathing life.

Bird song, rustling leaves.

Turning leaves, ripening grapes, autumn: all point to change.

Content to stay in safety behind the rock walls~

But encouraged by the fiery red horse to jump for freedom~

("Cabin Fever" by Susan Rothenberg)

I follow the stepping stones to the unfettered path.

Seashells! Mild, steady, stable at sea level~

Opposite the challenges of the mountain peaks~
