Taking Comfort

There is comfort in the solid land below—the fields, the curling rivers, and the shore we follow north.

And a day later in the meditative chewing of straw of the alpacas, and the restless brood of baby quails humming beside—and all over—the drive.

And then, again, today, in a cool gathering of red roses along a shaded fence.
