brothers and sister:
still reeling from the time dilation and what our tall brethren
spoke to me
light plays dark as a different shade, in the strangest of
places, when you look at right...
walk amongst the wooded glen by jarred trout
Walk amongst the wooded glen
And stop for time
Time to replace
To erase the chase
Of due dates past
Remember your forgotten child times and friends who are spirits
now
Lend yourself into
harmony, alignment, and rebirth
There is space and there is time
Wash away the pollution of the day, the week, and those moments
When you are not, gifted.
Step mindfully in focused breath
Past the ancient ones who tell their tales, forsaking all
weather and wind
They stand for us and they stand to say;
You are my children, each and everyone
I know not of your sins and your daily poisons
I only know the love of ages, deep in my heartwood, that I
carry
For all my children that walk the wooded glen
Tell my tales in metered ways
Bring your family and friends and wash away
Those realities constructed
Of the arsenic society who writes the tragic play
Spend time with me my children
Rest your fears, listening to my whistling crowns
Take with you when you leave
New eyes to see, new hands to hold, a clearer vision, and
my sprit to breathe

Jarred:
Your verse is genuinely moving. You have caught the spirit of
ENTS as
you begin exploring the riches of the forest.
The world of the trees waits silently for each
of us to enter it.
Some enter, but do not see. Others see, but do not feel.
Entering a
superlative woodland with attuned physical senses is the first
step. The
greater leap is when the physical and metaphysical merge. You
have much
to contribute. We look forward to your sharing of your journey
with us.

bob:
it must be the way that ENTS approaches the tasks at hand. we
have a great diversity in the ranks; scientist, naturalist,
engineers, foresters, arborists, writers, poets, and nature
loving, laypersons all chiming in....
i am addicted to the cause and am looking forward to doing my
part.
the community that you have fostered here is in part, the
vehicle for major change.
how should we get more into the flock and how can a layperson
like me spread the message?
