A Sense of Wonder

I have so much serious research and writing to do that I thought I’d start a series where I mostly share photographs of places and details that make me wonder. I am planning a lot more reading as well. Rachel Carson is one person I want to read a lot more of.

Ripple Poetry

For Rachel Carson

Rachel says
open your children to wonder
about birds
together learn each ones song
and their many names
as you wander their land
maybe imagine flying
to their tree top
homes.

Rachel says
imprint in them
the story of the sea
the delicacy of balance even on the rugged shorelines
through them knowing
its biography
as if it’s their best friend.

Rachel says
listen to the wind
find the names of each wind
so you can read its personality
warm or cold
and know when you should
stay away from the sea
and when you can embrace and nurture
it.

Rachel says
open to them to wonder
so they will not pass by this world
without knowing it calls
to us
from stars to shoreline
moon dust to leaves.

Rachel leaves her love of nature
on the shorelines of our present
each wisdom wave
saying

wonder
