know/koans

I'm in awe of how (tiny, determined)
ants carry many times their own weight 
*
of how much snow (seeming ethereal)
can cover with slow, resolute softness
*
overhead, an arrowhead of eager geese soar
they move in a direction I read as tomorrow
*

Note: Pre-birthday walk with Big A in the am; big snowstorm in the pm.
