He’s there again
calling.

I want to give him a sweet name-
towhee
or even chickadee;
but I know he’s neither.
‘journey, journey, journey’
he calls.

‘journey, journey, journey’
my mind clasps.

A regular reminder
outside my kitchen window
of what we are here to do-
travel outside of ourselves,
our comfort zones, and discover
the fullness of life.
This is why I EncaustiCamp.

in love.
