In some sense, all of us
when we are in the winds
exposed, alone with our
thoughts
naked on the summit
upon the high places, the
peaks,
huddled against the wind
like the juniper, the
mosses,
the trees remaining, bend
over,
anchored in the rock, the
soil,
the ground against the wind.

Turned from the wind – v2
February 11, 2010
Turned from the wind
hiking in New England, up through the tree line
and the quote from Thomas More,
from “A Man for All Season”,
talking of why he puts his faith in the law and in God,
see comment number 4.
“I would give the Devil the benefit of the Law” (for my own safety's sake)
