Resilience
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters
compared to what lies within us.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ode to a Rock
The boulder rose in the forest
Its broad side dappled by sun, composites,
And lichen growing in its folds.
Deposited by glaciers or fallen from a mother ledge
Life passed its stoic watch.
Softened by weathering
Its earth connection hidden and smoothed.
It reaches to the sky
Standing tall among the trees.

Great descriptions.
Great reflections in the past few posts. I was especially drawn to Open and Perfection. Such good words and perspectives to ponder.
Love the Ode to a Rock, and the link to resilience.
