A peaceful moment for us today

The Lake Isle of Innisfree
W. B. Yeats
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;
And live alone in the bee-loud glade…

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

Running alongside the Clarion River, Cook Forest State Park is 8,500 acres of towering virgin hemlock and white pine groves.

Some days for me are busy so I'm not always able to comment on these threads of yours; I do find them enchanting!

Thank you.

Thank you for the reminder to slow down and just be in nature.

Just what I needed this morning.
