Oh wild and gentle beast,
Immense antlered shape,
This morning in the meadow!
Like something ancient, lost
And found now, promise kept,
Emerging from the shadow,
Emerging while I slept—
Wilderness and escape!
You set me free to shirk
The day’s demanding work
And cast my guilt away.
You make a truant of me
This moose-enchanted day
When all I can is see,
When all I am is this
Astonishment and bliss.
Loved your past 2 posts. So nature inspired. I often walk alone in the woods or other natural settings, it is a perfect meditation for me, but never thought to also practice yoga ( loved your made up poses) outside. I will add this to my practice.
Often when I am out early, I see a fox, a coyote, deer, Sandhillcranes in Gibbon Ne-thrill your heart-and once in Alaska, yes a moose. Life can be strung with perfect moments such as these. Thanks for the reminder!
Its always a pleasure having you over, and thank you for your continued support. I’ll have to share with you a few of my favorite spots in Omaha to practice outdoors … For me, my deepest, most spiritual moments are created outside the walls of a yoga studio – Be sure to twist my arm to let you know where these spots are or you could simply say: “Dos mojitos por favor” … I hope you and your family have a brilliant weekend – Take care!
Seeing a moose could go unnoticed by some, but you’ve captured how connecting with nature really can bring astonishment and bliss! Love it.

I hope you ave a great weekend – Take care!
