    Summary

    "... the immortal heart of the woods will beat against ours and its subtle life will steal into our veins and make us its own forever, so that no matter where we go or how widely we wander we shall yet be drawn back to the forest to find our most enduring kinship..."
    -- Thistle Harvest, John Foster


    And when I'm awake, or awake enough

    he turns upside down, his four paws
    in the air
    and his eyes dark and fervent.

    "Tell me you love me," he says.

    "Tell me again."

    -- from "Little Dog’s Rhapsody in the Night," Mary Oliver
