There is radiance here

in these unfolding years.

Simplicity deepens.

Alone-ness widens perspective.

Solitude forms a presence.

In the quietness the trees share their secrets

and the ravens tell their tales.

The mountains form the foundation of everything,

while the big sky holds them in a warm embrace.

The stilled mind cascades into wonder.

That is where the radiance lies, shimmering in that wonder.

I stay there now as often as I can.
