Over a brambled path
We step and pose
Our great regrets
Our shadow knows.
A shadow can be a ponderous friend
When on our back until the end
Choosing what my thoughts beget
Behind me strides a Great Egret
I was enjoying the peaceful and productive nature of all the water lilies at Seattle’s Arboretum — got to wondering what they would think of the destructive fear mongering going around today.
OK, it didn’t happen exactly like that. I liked this photo, thought about a while, and finally came up with a sentiment that fits it pretty well, I think.
“Drown not in fears and apprehension
Thrive upon the surface tension”
What Say The Water Lilies?
Drown not in fears and apprehension
Thrive upon the surface tension
