“Into the Wild”
What’s New at The Tamarack?
Coming soon!!
“Oh do you have time to linger for just a little while
out of your busy
and very important day
for the goldfinches that have gathered in a field of thistles
for a musical battle,
to see who can sing the highest note,
or the lowest,
or the most expressive of mirth,
or the most tender?
Their strong, blunt beaks drink the ari
as they strive melodiously
not for your sake and not for mine
and not for the sake of winning
but for sheer delight and gratitude –
believe us, they say, it is a serious thing
just to be alive
on this fresh morning in the broken world.
I beg of you,
do not walk by without pausing
to attend to this rather ridiculous performance.
It could mean something.
It could mean everything.”
