Portal to everlasting life

Fort Foster, Kittery Maine
CC Jean Stimmell: 10/17/16

Alice may have her rabbit hole 

but here's the real deal

Mother Earth’s portal

to a pulsing

animate world

as near as right here

right now:

a universe of interbeing where

every one talks to one another,

not only four-legged critters

and creepy-crawly things,

but kelp and kale –

even stones.
