“If you go into a forest and get very quiet,
You will soon come to understand,
That you are connected with everything.”
A snowy winter morning
I soon head for the woods
Its dazzling white brilliance
Always makes me feel good
I reach my favorite old oak stump
I sit there, admiring the new snow
Eventually, I spot some movement
I realize it’s a lone coyote, on the go
Soon, he stops in his tracks
And, he begins to gaze at me
Now, we both stare at each other
As the snow falls amidst the trees
I begin to wonder where he’s heading
I wonder, what he wonders, about me
Neither of us, is in much of a hurry now
Neither of us, with a feeling we must flee
We now spend some time gazing at each other
As the fresh white snow continues to cascade
Eventually he turns, and he resumes his route
And I am very grateful, we crossed paths today
As I eventually head back home down the trail
I wonder if he is also now doing the same thing
I always enjoy my encounters with other beings
And I never know, what a forest walk may bring

A snow covered mountain to encounter an inhabitant.
The coyote to a sense of not alone in peace.
