I stopped and rolled my window down as I was leaving the house
to go have a camera walk in the woods.
The mockingbird was at the very top of our tree.
When I entered the woods I was greeted by this sweet sparrow showing me the way.
Into a world where everything else falls away.
and when I stop and listen I hear the dry chatter of the falling leaves.
I witness the dance between the stream and the branch
and I listen to the wisdom of the trees as they remind me that nothing stays the same.
