Two Book Reflections

Leaving Edgemont,

passing Mule Junction

And nearing Signature Rock

We stopped for a golden moment

In the Grasslands.

The sun rising over the trees

And warming the awakening

Slope of dried grasses.

An image,

A moment that remains

On my mind.

It takes several tries to recreate

What the Maker shaped

Over geological time.

For what end?

For me to see along with

How many others?

Or perhaps for the

Joy of the Maker

In making
