We hiked Coldsprings Canyon today. Started out on a goat trailhigh up on the side of the canyon then went down a switchback trail that leads to a place where there's tall trees, boulders and a stream. I knelt down by a pooland watched fish swim through my fingers. Made me laugh. We walked for a while until the canyon walls got so close we could hear our voices bounce off. Jim says that there were Indians living here once and I imagine tribes of people drawing water and carrying fish.
before heaven and earth
lay something nebulous
silent isolated
unchanging and alone
eternal
the mother of all things
i do not know its name
so i will give it a word
and the word is
tao
by Lao Tsu
sixth century B.C.
