In the Shallows

Creatures of all proportions seek the rewards found amongst anchored remnants of past giants and the filtered light of new growth. The immensity of the figure the Algonquins named Mooswa emerges from emerald confines in search of sustenance, while the symbols of healing and wisdom laze in dawn’s first brilliance unaware of the shifting presence beyond the rocky outcropping. Life scatters just below the mirror like surface as winds change and signal a rustling in the interlaced branches of the pine labyrinth above. Take pause from worldly anxiety and woe and drink in the healing vitality found in the shallows.

    We raised our eyes, three years past, to ribbons of glorious light dancing on cobalt skies. Shimmering translucence scattering untold diamonds in reflections of yesterday. We shed tears for the indiscretions of men, but bathe in the goodness and comfort of those around us. Lift up your spirits in the presence of others, for the world is a wondrous place. Take time to bask in the glow of the celestial light.

    Mew Lake Mist

    Spring has come to Algonquin in reluctant strokes of fragile warmth. Cool waters ripple as icy coverings are released, and return slowly to fluid motion. Closing hours of daylight spawn Winter’s last flurry, and a chill returns to the now placid waters. Distant shores lose definition, and mystery returns in the Mew Lake mist.
