Yes, those phantoms linger--but bees and a Buddha and a blue bunting will become familiar in their time. Glad the tensions are dissolving. Once again I smile to see your way with words: "Two rivers cast off moisture like snakes their skins, visibly, viably, vibrantly transforming a walk into a momentary triumph." Transition accomplished, triumphs waiting--good to see your voice again.
It is a pleasure to read your blog again, Ted. I spent a delightful week birding with Susan. We thought of you when we encountered two rattlesnakes. They were on the dirt road; we stayed in the vehicle.
Welcome back. But why so melancholy. To end when the owl calls. Surely it doesn’t call your name. But An earnest and loving prayer for many others in this terrible pandemic.
Welcome home. Welcome back. Welcome to my inbox and the best part of my morning.
