By the toe of my boot,
a pebble of quartz,
one drop of the earth’s milk,
dirty and cold.
I held it to the light
and could almost see through it
into the grand explanation.
Put it back, something told me,
put it back and keep walking.

This guy is lyric….
If it isn’t obvious, I can seem to get enough (or share enough) of Mr. Kooser
take in the beauty and give it back.
Yes. Great photo with the poem too.
Leave nothing but your footsteps; take nothing but your smile………
Yes. That’s it.
or keep it and remember–
yes, or Put it Back.
Put it back, yes, or what you possess might also possess you.
Deep. I had to think about this for a while.
This…
I held it to the light
and could almost see through it
into the grand explanation.
I keep going back to it…
Me too Bonnie. Me too.
