TEALarbor stories’ Monday Musings are quotes, mantras,
reveries, practices….offering simple ways to explore the ecotone of the
inner/outer landscape.
“Let air discover who you are, deliver
that message for bear, for deer. Pass on
quietly, no badge needed. Pay the forest
first, then woman or man.
Below any mountain resolve your allegiances
and mention them often, like a salute no one
requires. No one need know which path
you consider but never declare.
Somewhere there’s the law greater than a uniform,
not any certain color, only a code
riveted in boulders too deep
to discover. You will obey it.
No boundary can stop you.
No woman. No man.”
William Stafford
