Soaring over Pack River in the Selkirk Mountains of North Idaho

The Pack River runs down from the Selkirk Mountains in North Idaho, and fills the mighty Lake Pend Oreille. In the spring time, when the snow is melting up high, the river is filled to the brim, and vibrant with newfound energy. The scent of the air around it is pristine. The song of the water rushing over the rocks is a heavenly choir. The sight of this crystal ribbon running through the pine forest is a portrait of glory.

What was it that was worrying you? You are a beautiful, tranquil creature, and the awe of the universe surrounds you!

Poets Who Walk Thy Shore

Thou, forest dark with spruce and larch, high walled,
With weave of needled branches formed to bar
All intrusion, by inquiry appalled,
Bent on wearying eyes that gaze afar
To secrets that lie old on speechless tongues,
Are thy cold altars empty but for night air
Through which thrust purposeless ascending rungs
To the sky, to heaven, or to nowhere!

In thy columned cathedral does there dwell
Some pious priest of yore or mystic lore
Who might with merciful design impart
Life’s meaning or of eternity tell?
Ignore no more poets who walk thy shore,
Whose lips sing mention of thy empty heart,
And breathe human passion through thy silent hall –
Should no soul remain to hear thy trees fall.
