Return

With the hungry curiosity
that opens young minds,

and the intrinsic value

of observations outdoors,

Let us all return with
respect and gratitude:

to the woods and wetlands,
to the fields and prairies,
to the lakes and rivers,
to the meadows and mountains,
to the oceans' shores;

relevant with wonder,
resonant with mystery.
