"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: Poem

To be a bird is medicine—
Swallowing anodynes of air which
Pass like water through gills of
Feathery throat—
Expending nothing but
Soaring secondhand time
