Wild Geese
Wild Geese
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail System
View from Catman Road
At Good Haven House we're lucky to have the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail system just 16 miles/25 minutes down the road. The Backcountry Trail System is made up of a dozen square miles of wooded and marshland habitat mostly contained within Gulf State Park in Orange Beach, AL. Six trails among six distinct ecosystems make up more than 11 miles of the complex that's just made for a days biking and hiking.
The trails are a bird watcher's paradise and other commonly seen animals are armadillos, racoons, deer, coyotes, otters, foxes, wild boar, bob cats and American alligators.
Click HERE for lots more information about the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail.
The entrance to Gulf Oak Ridge Trail is located next to the Orange Beach Sportsplex north of Gulf State Park

Happy (and peaceful) Friday

A new National Geographic book, Peace: The Biography of a Symbol by photographer
Ken Kolsbun and journalist Michael S. Sweeney, takes a look at the famous sign.
The peace symbol was the brainchild of a British designer, Gerald Holtom, seeking an
emblem for an anti-nuclear-weapons march in London in 1958. It superimposes the semaphore signals for N (nuclear) and D (disarmament) and has become known the world over.
The book is interesting and the pictures, as always from National Geographic, are stunning and thought provoking. A timely reminder for our world right now.
