I’ve logged more experience than most with simplicity and the complexity you discover inside simplicity, minimalism and asocial behavior, endurance and landscape.
Here is the truth: I think some deep wisdom inside me (a) sensed the stress, (b) was terrified for me, and (c) gave me something new and hard to focus on in order to prevent me from lapsing into a despair coma — and also to keep me from having a jelly jar of wine in my hand.

A water bug lies down the river. At his side two per- sons dance quiet- ly.
Dance in front of my porch. Steps lead to a cool field. Who are you in the evenings? A lightning bug, a willow with no tears.
Rocks hang like the belly of a swan.
I touch the knee of a gull. Feathers fall into my hands and begin to breathe like the sea.
