part of me resonates with this remoteness

the monk part

the solitary part

the recluse part

the part of me that wants to know more

of myself

of life

of living

the part of me that wants the truth

to step into the world in a way that means something

regardless of its income potential

I resonate with the mountains the deer that tender-toe by the windows the small green shoots poking through the snowy rock laden slopes

I am the angle of that hillside tipping toward the future

I am that small green shoot hoping for a ray of sun to illuminate and warm

I am that rocky slope letting the blanket of white refresh my way
