In A Crossfire

We are ever dying to one world and being born into another. - Thoreau

conceived in love's rain

delivered on lightning's train

born to eden's stain

Author's Note

"The intellect of most men is barren. They neither fertilize or are fertilized. It is the marriage of the soul with nature that makes the intellect fruitful, that gives birth to imagination...without nature-awakened imagination most persons do not really live in the world, they merely pass through it as they live dull lives of quiet desperation." - Thoreau

[Chris Shaw]

From conception to birth. What an amazing journey that is when you consider the starting point and the baby on the scales newly delivered. I like how you have threaded and referenced nature in all parts of that journey Pete.
