I love all that grows here on my home patch of Mt. Desert
Island, Maine. This Solomon’s seal is just one tiny
piece in a friend’s garden. But everywhere I go
I look. I try not to miss all the hidden or not so hidden
aspects of life around me. “Keep my eyes open”,
I say, “just look”. And I will find the early
pussy willows hidden in the roadside scrub; the thrush,
the bald eagle soaring over head. It is all here for me
to dwell in, to give me peace.
