Dig Deeper
Laguna Chaxa, Atacama desert in Chile
hidden in the whistling winds
stacked under layers of soil and earth
in the twigs and branches of every tree
in the dance of the paradise birds
the singing of the forests
seen in the moonlight and sunlight
flowing discreetly through the rivers
in the depths and surface of the ocean
in eclipses, solstices, and equinoxes
in the twinkling of the stars and constellations
in animals, insects, and people of every kind
in the wag of a pet's tail
in the first chuckle of a baby
in love, loss, and wonder
is the same secret — dig deeper within
