True Wilderness

Saint Paul, 25 September 2011

Take notice

of an untouched view

imagine how it would be painted

Notice ornamentation in a facade

ask what is its purpose?

Itemize your senses

Sight? Check.

Sound? Check.

Smell? Check.

Taste? Check.

Touch? Check.

Take notice

of a loved one's face

imagine her face with wrinkles

Notice tendons in her hand

ask what is their purpose?

Leave no impression

cover your footprints

fold your life in a stuff sack

Walk with purpose

into your only chance
