COMPASS

Walking - early morning - in the woods –

coming to patches of light and darkness –

depending on the steep of the low hills -

then deeper and deeper into the trees ….

I come to a clearing - a palace place of light….

The light seems to be forming halos around

all the trees in the forest - lessening the

darkness everywhere - north, east, south, west.

It was as if I was standing in a compass of light,

and I stood there  wondering if God the Father

had the particularity he had about Mary for the

tree 2,000 years ago chosen to be the cross of Christ.
