I hear you, Your voice singing through the rain, Whispering through the wind. I see you, A beauty that paints the sky, And sparkles in the sunlight. I feel you, Among the company of trees, In the soft or overwhelming breeze. I know you, Not with my earthly mind, But through every good, And perfect… Continue reading I Hear You

Slowly, I am becoming aware. Aware of the subtle changes all around me. Of the small, sure signs that nature gives us. The seasons are changing. This swift, yet brilliant Alaskan summer is fading to the background. And the golden beginning of Autumn, to the foreground. Small patches of leaves are changing color.
