"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity..." --John Muir, 1898

Meditation: Haiku


Rain on ageless stone
Pools on beds of aspen leaves—
Yellow, silent tears.

*

You, down autumn hills,
Bearing stems of cardamom—
I await you here.
