I parked on the road and walked into the wood. It didn't seem much changed. Grapevines still twined round maples; lowbush blueberries, fruit long gone, still sprawled, Leaves now the familiar purple I recalled from those autumns long ago. Small birds flitted overhead; somewhere a crow squawked, warning its fellows of an intruder. And then the pond,
surfaced with leaves and berries, sticks and moss, lay shining before me in the filtered forest light. I stood there, remembering the me who had once lived this country life with a heart full of dreams dynamited by the unforeseen, unexpected, unknowable unfolding of fate.
And as I gazed into the universe of clotted water, pocked with whatever wind and weather had cast there, I wept in both sorrow and hope: sorrow for all that was lost, hope for what still existed in the woods by John Martin's. excerpt from 'Pilgrimage to the Past,' ~ copyright 2016 RC deWinter
