Camps!

Headed to Eagle Lake now to drop Aden, William and all of their gear for a week. Having returned from camping in the same area west of Colorado Springs just 24 hours ago, I am beginning to feel like a camp shuttle. It’s a bit of driving but no complaints here; the amazing blessings of gorgeous scenery and close friendships sustain us. To commemorate the weekend I scratched a few verses as chipmunks schemed and scurried around my camp chair . . .

Spillway Campground

Wade the river

  small boys

    on your back.

Don’t fish,

  swim.

Climb a rock

  touch the top

    of a tree.

 Don’t fall,

    fly.

Shine your light

  seek the center

    of the dark.

Don’t stumble,

  follow stars.
