Bamboo forest



Lost in the [bamboo] forest
I sought the light, the Way out.
Buen Camino!

"If it is to come
it will come of itself like a separate
being,
a mystery, working
unseen as a wind causes still
leaves or water to move once again.
And hide me in the shadow of Your wings.

Let the heart be moved again."


— Franz Wright, from Reparations
(1953 - 2015)
