image Keith took in Yosemite
We all choose our way
To embrace or reject
The kin of the park
The kin of the pack
Standing as tall arbor elders
Rock jumping as Sierra Fence lizards
Not as master or leader, but as collaborative guide
of compassion
to nurture and hold that which breathes,
that breathes the breath of life
here on this temporary eco-sphere.
—Keith Knapp, friend of Prairiewoods
