Now #1

Confused?
For the next several days I will be posting THEN and NOW posts.  THEN posts are back blips covering the California holiday and family reunion/s.  NOW posts take place, obviously, in the present.  You can ignore the then and live in the now.  Your choice.....and sorry if it gets confusing.

NOW
It is a privilege to sit with nature
to hear, to see
the critters and the creatures
go about their daily activity.
Six miles to 13 trees
I sit in peace and wonder
with the Cottonwoods and the Chickadees.
