Hardy green leaves shuffle in the persistent breeze against dusty screened windows:  life persists at the edge of an unkempt abode.

Like musty tan gauze, dust holds in place forgotten tools of ease: powerless motor, silent radio, empty chrome chair.

While out there nature beckons: air and sun and bees and water from the lake - technologies of  creation's cultivation.

Young green leaves ruffle in the persistent breeze against tender growth and hidden gifts: life at the center of an intended world.

Tanned hands work with forgiving soil, at one with nature's memory of symbiosis and vibrance and growth.

Out here nature beckons: air and sun and bees and water from the lake - blessings of a remembered grace.
