Face of the Forest

 

Don't you just enjoy when walking along the familiar path, something new

appears ever so often?

 

I noticed this face one afternoon - there it was, waiting to be discovered!

 

“I think people who don't know the woods very well

sometimes imagine it as a kind of undifferentiated mass of greenery,

an endless continuation of the wall of trees they see lining the road.

 

 And I think they wonder how it could hold anyone's interest for very long,

being all so much the same.

But in truth I have a list of a hundred places in my own town I haven't been yet.

Quaking bogs to walk on; ponds I've never seen in the fall

(I've seen them in the summer - but that's a different pond).

 

That list gets longer every year, the more I learn,

and doubtless it will grow until the day I die.

So many glades; so little time.”
