A simple, but substantive meditation. Straightforward 4-part texture appropriate for developing choirs, but engaging to high level singers as well.

"Sometimes I go to the woods
Just to remember that the trees
Don’t care what time it is

Just to remember that the sparrow 
flies because that's all that it knows
without a second thought.

Just to remember that the ripple of the lake
Is far more real than my latest fear

Sometimes I go to the woods
Just to remember that the tree
The sparrow
The lake
And I
Are not separate."
