Family Photos

Sometimes I am so clever…

Like when I get a new camera to video the kids seated around the table.

And don’t realize I’m in picture mode, not video mode.

Fortunately, the kids forgive me these lapses.

Perhaps because they know I’m the Two-Legger who speaks gently to them.

Who views them as Brothers and Sisters of the Wood, not as pests and nuisances.

As both children of and representatives of The Old Ones.

Most people I encounter have no awareness of the life beyond their…ken.

It’s best to use old words, revered words, honored words, when working with The Old Ones.

Shows respect.

Or so I’ve been taught, anyway.
