Only from the heart can you touch the sky. ~Rumi
we went outside
on a class hike
touched stuff
picked up things
fell down
rolled
ran
played in the water
saw some pretty little stuff
and saw some big and beautiful stuff
and tried to figure out
how to get way up there
then we found this
and
think it was a message
left for us
and decided it was true
and our adventure
was even better.

land is the secure ground of home, the sea is like life,
the outside, the unknown.

welcome to chicken world
no mean sharks allowed
in the pool
chickens only
free rocket rides to the moon
or
you can go to the top of
the empire state building.
there’s just
something special about
small town living.

the older I get, the more i’m conscious of ways
very small things can make a change in the world.
tiny little things,
but the world is made up of tiny matters, isn’t it?
