Danger on Peaks - Gary Snyder

This present moment
that lives on

to become

long ago

This new collection of poems by Gary Snyder is fabulous. He is as enjoyable to read as the first time I read Turtle Island forty years ago. Lots of insights and smiles here. It is simply comforting having him be a part of my journey through life.

hundreds of white-fronted geese
from nowhere
spill the wind from their wings
wobbling and sideslipping down
