Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
- Mary Oliver, "Wild Geese"
Thirty one geese land.
We each imagine our north.
Sweet cottonwood air

Language lessons this week have included “deer” and “geese.”
Hope we don’t have to get to this one.
