Early Morning Reflections
We were back walking around the lake early this morning. 5 miles all the way around. It was foggy, cool, quiet, and comfortable. It put me in a reflective mood...I'll leave it at that for right now.
Such tremendous peace and tranquility in walking a lake. Back in September I quoted a David ferry poem, "Lake Water" in my blog.
Here it is for you:
"It is like an idea for a poem not yet written And maybe never to be completed, because The surface of the page is like lake water, That takes back what is written on its surface, And all my language about the lake and its Emotions or its sweet obliviousness, Or even its being like an origination, Is all erased with the changing of the breeze Or because of the heedless passing of a cloud."

Emotions or its sweet obliviousness,
Or even its being like an origination,
Is all erased with the changing of the breeze
Or because of the heedless passing of a cloud."
