birthday...almost heaven

[saw]

smokey gray cabin
rolling hills, bare trees
shades of lichen-green
futon dreams west virginia
john denver's mountain mama
mixed nuts, marmalade, chocolate
dark roast brilliant snapshots
six decades fade, prismatic light
flashing star fragments
compressed dust, black, brown
white deciduous limbs
pine tree earth inhaled
blonde woman, flecked hoodie
tomorrow is already here
seventieth birthday happy
cacapon state park, misty drizzle
sunshine in my mind
family of deer bolt along the ridge
a fawn tries to keep up
no cell service, no tv, only man
woman and the ground, the trudge
of boot, the tap of the stick
a little splash here and there
rivulets, moss, moss, moss
cat scat atop a rock in the trail
quiet quiet quiet, 1200 ft
if the gods are good to me 2100 ft.
tomorrow....( maybe a few more birthdays )

tomorrow is today
a tip of the most exquisite espresso
cheers to you, and may your new decade be filled with art and love

You're about a lap and a half ahead of me - coming up on #69 this April. After that - the Big Seven-Oh. How the fuck did that ever happen?? Last I checked, I was 42, with salt & pepper hair. Now it's all salt. Keep walking those trails - helps keep the body as young as its soul. All the best!

quiet quiet quiet

Love it! Happy Birthday, Steve!
