Bowen Island is 20 square mile chunk of rock lying two miles off the west coast of Canada. It is home to 3000 people, three mountains, two valleys, four lakes, about 15 beaches, two species of salmon, one village and me and my family.
"To chart this land
hanging over ten thousand inlets
and a distant mind as of many narrows,
an impossible thing -
no music
sounds as many changes with such
common theme."
-- George Bowering

The trees ahead and the bushes beside you,
are not lost.
Wherever you are is called Here,
and you must treat it as a powerful stranger;
ask permission to know it and be known.
Listen.
The forest breathes.
It answers,
I have made this place around you
if you leave it
you may come back again saying
Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven
No two branches are the same to Wren
If what a tree or a branch does is lost on you,
then you are surely lost.
Stand still.
The forest knows where you are
You must let it find you.
