A firefly lives two months. There are bristlecone pines standing toady that have lived 5,000 years. The vital dignity of each of these species is not measured in time. Both are perfection. Treat your time likewise. Your moments deserve the same careful attention as your years.

There will come a time when these days are the good old days. This will be wrong. It is always wrong to imagine an unstained past.

Present work is rarely charming to those who sweat over it, and somehow, it's always easier to think we missed our chance to love this world.

“Fish flashed in mountain streams long before the first human. Honey was sweet and falling snow was graceful before a person noticed such things. This world is not here for us. We are simply fortunate to live here.”

Jarod K. Anderson, ‘Ownership’ from Field Guide to the Haunted Forest

The water in your body is just visiting. It was a thunderstorm a week ago. It will be the ocean soon enough. Most of your cells come and go like morning dew. We are more weather pattern than stone monument. Sunlight on mist. Summer lightning. Your choices outweigh your substance.

Universe.

A monument to life

Tasting the atmosphere with renewed vigor

You encapsulate the entire idea of everything

It's imperfections and love and horror

Why are you so vast?

You are dark and empty and many things, surely

They long to be with you again

To be part of you again

But to think about it

I have to face that we are truly

One in the same

Atoms are only a million pieces of this puzzle

But I suppose

Then that would be a million that we share

In comparison to the trillions, quadrillions, hextillions

It's not a lot

But it's a lot to me

It provides some solice to know that

Even if you are everything

And I am nothing

We used to be many things together

Not everything, not everything

But out of the trillion, quadrillion, hextillion things

That are different about us

I'm glad that

At least

I got to share a million things

With you

These are facts that saved my life.

There are wonders here.

Things worth experiencing, worth knowing.

 Magic hidden in plain sight.

Bats can hear shapes.  Plants can eat light.  Bees can dance maps.  We can hold all these ideas at once and feel both heavy and weightless with the absurd beauty of it all.  These are some facts that are easy to overlook.

These are facts that saved my life.

Title: Field Guide to the Haunted Forest

Author: Jarod K. Anderson

Genre: Poetry

Published: November 27, 2020

My Thoughts: So many of these poems spoke directly to my soul in such a loving way.

Jarod K. Anderson's poetry collection explores the complexities of the natural world and its hidden magic. The collection, spanning from mortality to single-celled organisms, demonstrates our connection to the living universe and our place in a wilderness worthy of our love.

This poetry collection came to me at just the right time in life. Jarod finds a way of twisting nature and our human experience together in such a magical and thoughtful way. I found myself reading this slowly and thoroughly, drinking up every word.

I would absolutely recommend this poetry collection to anyone and everyone. Sometimes poetry can feel a little intimidating, and- while they’re are metaphors, Jarod does a great job of making this easy to digest. You’ll leave this book feeling a little more one with nature than when you started.

Poem by Jarod K. Anderson from Love Notes from the Hollow Tree Clergy   Vultures are holy creatures.   Tending the dead.   Bowing low.   Bared head.   Whispers to cold flesh,   “Your old name is not your king.   I rename you ‘Everything.’“
