A poem by David Wagoner, “Lost,” appeared in The Writer’s Almanac this morning. I want to share it, even though I don’t have permission to do so, and take the liberty of posting a copy here:
I honor the poet and the poem and the forest with a small selection of images I’ve made over the years. While none of them can replace reality, I find they can act as a compass when I’m lost, as I so often am. I’ve learned to trust, nearly always, that the forest can find me.
Beautifully penned and illustrated. Thanks, John. Happy New Year!
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing the words and the photographs. I love that sentiment of letting the forest find you. It has so often helped me find myself.
I love this John – I have known this poem for many years – your photos go so well with it – thank you for sharing it here!

As a huge fan of the trees and flowers it is a place where I seek out to continue to floursh and live in it splendor… LOL RL Fromm
