The Daily Forest Report June 20, 2014 Brand New… Again

The rain diminishes to the fog and spittle of the breaths of mountain giants… and the drifting mists part…
(The Wizard by Uriah Heep from their 1972 album Demons and Wizards)
The Day’s Eye rests upon a world that looks and feels brand new to polished skin and unclouded cornea…
…yet so many squeeze their eyes, their hearts, their minds tightly shut. To them there is nothing new under the sun…
The day awakes to all the skeletons past, as the memories of amnesiacs stand as a thin veil, parting us from something more primal, more ancient…
Dragons are our ancestors, their lineage lost amid hordes of ghosts, that now even the living are lost souls…
“Awake!” the silent plea from every quarter. “Consider the long delusion of your senses!”
The world is brand new… yet again… and again…
Green gooseberries are like sour patch kids… except without all the fakery!
And the world is overgrown and undergirded with alfalfa, channeling rock-solid truths from deep within the Earth to present as blossoms… Let a new feast begin!
And the cutest spider didn’t quite know what to make of me, but I told him anyway… “With your legs all tucked in close like that… and the way your eyes follow me… that’s a really good look for spiders…”
Spiders in my kitchen sink never looked so good!
A pair of joyful hawks met us where the dense forest meets the power line. They danced and cavorted for our happy little audience, while I sang Empty Sky… into a fulsome sky. Sitka spotted them first– my little skywatcher. Watch the dog; one day she’ll learn to fly!
They stayed with us for the better part of eternity and their message was as clear as the sun: “Celebrate!”
Yes! The world feels brand new… against my skin… as a joyful teardrop in heartened eye…
Aye! Tomorrow promises to be brand new… again!
