53. SURE-FOOTED AND KNOWING

Singer, songwriter, musician

Impassioned Canadienne

Canoeing on Barker lake in northern Minnesota

Looking for interesting places to do photographs

She spotted this old tree leaning over the water

And exclaimed

"I tink I can climb dat tree RomTom!"

"No! It is not safe!"

I answered quickly,

"Think Of the sharp dry slivers!!"

She eyed the tree keenly, thoughtfully:

"I tink I CAN climb dat tree RomTom!"

She said, very deliberately...

And so she did,

This mother of two children,

Sure-footed and knowing...
