The Answer



                                             It’s not only the crash of a tree
                                             falling in the forest;
                                             it’s the sound of a small waterfall
                                             pouring from a mossy stone into a pool,
                                             the taste of pure water from a spring,
                                             the shimmer of sunlight
                                             on the surface of a stream,
                                             the heft of a pebble on the bottom,
                                             and on the bank,
                                             the scent of a trailing arbutus
                                             that doesn’t really need your nose
