Kindred Spirits

I must include this, written for the many people I have met over the years who share my love of the wild areas.


Kindred spirits

People who don’t question your want to stop the car and walk into the
swamp, or the woods.
But ask, when do you want to do it, and don’t think you are crazy.

Kindred spirits
Those who enjoy a flower along the trail, or pausing long enough for the birds to start to sing again.

Kindred spirits
Who call to ask if you can come out to the woods today, or tomorrow?

Kindred spirits
Who share their adventures and knowledge, in photos with friends who couldn’t be there.

Kindred spirits
People who enjoy the trails enough to care for them, about them, and spread the word.

Kindred spirits
Who are continually amazed at how the woods recreates the spirits, again and again.

Kindred spirits
Always finding a way to get together to camp, hike and enjoy each others company, year after year.

To all the kindred spirits we know, and those we haven’t met,
 We’ll see you in the woods,
We haven’t seen it all yet!
