It was so beautiful on the lake this morning. So so beautiful. This is my favorite time of the year on the lake and I wish that I could sleep there - in a tent, on the ground, amongst the life ... no matter how fleeting, for I know how precious this season is. Sometimes the tiny peeps last minutes; sometimes the calls to the wind and the wild last years. Speaking of years, can you believe Papa Goose and I have been together for five years now and we are starting our sixth year together? There are no words to express how much I love this soul. He has been a confidante, a warrior, and an angel, and so VERY important to me in my walk of life. I know he is a free bird living wild in a small town city. I know that he will not always be here. But then again, neither will I. ;-) Turn, turn, turn .... the seasons; the reasons; and all that exists. To every purpose under the sun. So I try so very hard to memorize his call of the wild as I hear it across the lake before the sun rises. I try so very hard to memorize every feather and every fiber of his being. And I take a zillion pictures of him. He, this goose of mine ours, is family.
We are family. We share the seasons; we share the walk of life; we share the now.
I love you,
Kim
Oh Kim...

Papa Goose is looking mighty handsome. I do believe you will write a book one day about this love affair you've been having with a goose. =D Thank you for sharing him with the rest of us. That first photo so makes me want to walk along that sidewalk...it could be going to the lake. Is it?
