You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in.
Give up all other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
-David Whyte
The House of Belonging
-Lake Ann at dusk, high up on the backside of Mount Shuksan; where I belong…
Of the Earth. Among timeless stones.
Below the memory of water.
An untouched eternity some place beyond the attics of time.
It’s a place I know. A place I’ve been.
A place I long for, remembered.
Still a place I am.
A place I’ll always be.
-jw, 2005
