Turned from the wind

In some sense, all of us
when we are in the winds
exposed, alone with our thought
naked on the summit
huddled against the wind
like the juniper, the mosses,
the trees remaining
anchored in the rock, the soil
the ground against the wind

hiking in New England, up through the tree line
and the quote from Thomas More,

from “A Man for All Season”,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Man_for_All_Seasons,
talking of why he puts his faith in the law and in God,
