Hallowed ~ a new poem

Hi M,

Just wrote and published a new poem this weekend:

Pink flowering currant: Old mountain ridge California-style


Old mountain ridge
California-style,
Pink flowering currant
not in bloom,
in Huckleberry Botanic
Regional Preserve,
east of Berkeley,
I hike on
a hallowed tunnel-green
trail way,
nicely level,
in the amazing light
of afternoon.

Am checking out the hallowed word as a friendly non-theist too :)

Am liking all the flowers and images of natural things I find in Wikipedia which I post in my blog daily - they're pretty. It's going to be a hot day here this afternoon. National Parks are free today too since it's their 103rd anniversary, so I may head to Muir Woods NP (where we walked a few years ago) and the San_Francisco_Maritime_National_Historical_Park
(which museum I've never been in, although I've been on its Balclutha ship which was made in Scotland in 1886) at the far end of Fisherman's wharf - also a NP.

What are you up to today?

L, Scott

Thanks so much, Ma!

I don't think you've ever said anything about my poetry.

I just added this link from Google Street View to the poem -
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Huckleberry+Botanic+Regional+Preserve/@37.8427579,-122.1949477,3a,75y,160h,90t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipM3dV0EfVZZEhw-LzwyJWb02Cv2xeI3V0KBBrYV!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipM3dV0EfVZZEhw-LzwyJWb02Cv2xeI3V0KBBrYV%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi-0-ya90-ro-0-fo100!7i7168!8i3584!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x8be097cc35534266!8m2!3d37.8438698!4d-122.1954765 -
which the Web makes possible in great new ways! While you can turn 360 degrees around here, one still can't 'walk' along a path (that I found) in ways you can in other Google Street Views. But this will come ... great to be able to enter from a poem into the actual world it depicts ! Or? :)

You can travel in different ways in Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve from here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/08/pink-flowering-currant-old-mountain.html - however :)

Love, Scott

Thinking about the process of writing these poems here ...

How to get to 'hallowed' in poetry in a virtual world ...?

Am missing Harbin Hot Springs a bit, but seeking to create a virtual Harbin for online visiting (*and so much more).
