What is life?
It is the flash of a firefly
in the night.
It is the breath
of a buffalo
in the wintertime.
It is the shadow
which runs across
the water
and loses itself
in the moonrise.
- Crowfoot, Blackfoot warrior

"Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.”

the frogs ascend
the last thin layer
of snow and
spread their bodies flat"
