Winds of a fierce kind are blowing waves up over the shore line. No one is overly excited as this happens from time to time. The knowledge that Indian summer is on the way has sent Many into a frenzy of joy. The fall colors are still eminent; Especially the Tamaracks which are magical and mystical They embed you into a state of peacefulness which few things can surpass. There are soothsayers and philosophers warning of a cruel winter with many blasts from the north. Sane people disregard the negative. They have heard it all before. They like my prediction of a long beautiful fall, a short, crisp, winter And a lovely, early spring with flowers which will give your heart Back to you. But today is now and the sun is shining in spite of The wind and as it flickers through the waving trees you get Caught up in the joy of being alive in such lovely territory. Many do not understand the Upper Peninsula and that is fine as Though unselfish, we do not want to be crowded with people Possessing doubts about our sanity. We know what we are and What we have and that is good enough. It is our gold and we love it. Stanski November 8, 2021 ^
