Reflection
I have such an affinity to nature,
to that which is neither man made nor inspired,
that I imagine myself walking into the forest one day,
never to return.
The forest will have recognized one of its own
and I will be absorbed, welcomed home.
Leaving no trace of my existence
except a silver cellphone, lying on the trail.

I live amidst a myriad of paths like that. My greatest sorrow this past summer is that ill health has prevented me from walking them this year. I feel so seperated from the earth. I have often thought that when my time comes I hope I have the strength to make my way into the woods never to return to the world of man but instead to return to mother earth.
