“The dream of my life is to lie down 
by a slow river and stare at the light
in trees — to learn something by
being nothing.” —Mary Oliver
 
Pondering form,
I happen on a tree
felled long ago.
 
Wind.
Lightning.
Infestation.
 
Something caused it to fall 
onto the forest floor under 
which it had been 
deeply rooted. 
 
Unfathomably
integrated.
 
Feeding hosts of living
things, above and below
the earth’s mantle. 
 
Not least, 
human
kind.
 
Now its integration 
takes a new form: 
disintegration.
 
Still feeding the earth,
but now in the form of
the slow dismantling
of its previous 
arrangement.
 
Decomposing
it recomposes 
its life-giving.
 
Becoming a substrate
upon which much 
depends.
 
Fungi, insects, molds, mosses,
invertebrates — hosts of
microscopic myriads
that live on it.
With it.
 
Because
of it.
 
Brought into being by
forces of nature that are 
not in competition
— far from it. 
 
The highest most 
complex collaboration
is ever at work
in service
of life.
 
Complements
in concert.
 
It is how growth grows.
How expansion
ranges.
 
How evolution
pirouettes. 
 
And learning
plays hide 
and seek
 
with seeing.
 
Every encounter involving 
having to interact, exchange, make 
space, allowance, for something 
new to find a place in the  
synaptic jungle of 
sentience.
 
Of being.
 
Solid is what 
we are here
to dissolve.
 
The notion of it, the 
illusion of it, the 
trap of it.
 
No such thing.
 
All teems. 
 
Atomic and subatomically, 
not to mention biologically,
geologically… .
 
And never mind the metaphysics,
and the arrays of physics,
quanta, examining 
what here is, 
and isn’t.
 
As far as we can see.
 
Tectonic plates ever in motion.
As our earth spins round
her roiling center.
 
Her core a sun, too.
 
Generating currents
of all manner
of fluid.
 
The tides of
breath, just
one of the
many.
 
There is an inherent 
coming together in 
the coming apart.
 
[For there is no
such thing as
separation.]
 
Of masses, pressures, 
differences in structure
and density, of color,
temper and kind.
Give and take.
 
To “cleave” is 
both and.
 
ABCs require
the rest of the 
alphabet to
speak.
 
A disordering
of its order that
benefacts 
order.
 
In essence.
 
It is all here
showing us,
teaching us
eternity.
 
A miracle of
symbiosis, chemistry.
Alchemy.
 
Enormity
populating 
the head
of a pin.
 
Life force energy is all, 
that can neither be 
created nor 
destroyed.
 
Like magic,
it merely 
changes
form.
 
Everything
always becoming
nothing in 
particular.
 
Other 
than
alive.
 
Making art
of time and 
space.
 
For now,
I find myself
under wintered boughs
of white pine, birch, hemlock 
beside a river 
that sings
 
along.
