Camping at 11 Mile Pike National Forest

 Just a little bit of earth
 and a lotta bit of sky
 long tree branches
 sturdy rocks that haven't moved in a million years
 a spirit of exploration
 moments of "how-high-can-I-go?"
 a little wind to lift us up
 fast moving river to wade
 and a moment to sit and just. be. still.
 finding myself in wide-open spaces
 leaning on nature
 and smiles
 and these lovelies
 gets me through the rough spots
 to look for bright spots
 n' tender mercies...
 that beg my eyes to look again...
 always look again...
 for better days and sunshine
 these bits of wild in a wilderness
 with their random bits of perfection...
 reminds me
 it was all put here
 millions of years ago
 for me and mine
 to open our eyes
 and gladden our hearts
 because The Creator knew
we'd need to see His hand in the world around us.
