Posted on April 23, 2015 by Jim Stewart

I lean, very still. A young Junco, unaware, hops across my foot. Community is all of us, hearts in concert, living together. (dark-eyed junco: pacificnorthwestbirds.com; junco feeding cowbird: coastodian.org)

Imagination

Posted on March 7, 2015 by Jim Stewart
