a letter he got from his doctor

1/14/06

Hey, give me a little time to look at some clinical trial stuff and to run a
few NLM searches. I heard this on Garrison Kielor's radio show the other day
as I was driving through the forrest on my way to work.

Lost

Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you,
If you leave it you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.
