#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

Cairn in snow, Rocky Narrows woods

“. . . a traveller might pause,
take bearings, cast
in tribute to record:
“A man came here, went on,
left common token, shared
with those who went before
and shall come after.”

— Excerpt from "Cairn," by Gael Turnbull

A morning ski under steely sky. I passed a snow topped cairn and paused.
