Forests can be rooted in a soul.
Oceans inundate a tidal heart.
Remember to become a rock-ridged bowl,
The amphitheater that contains the whole,
Yet is of some grand peak a tiny part.
One's time in tame surroundings takes its toll,
Nor can one grasp the grace beyond the goal
Except by practicing the rambler's art.
