Inspiring Poetry

WCA member Bill Horne sent this in to us. He did not write it but says it conveys how he feels about the valley. I totally agree.

Here are things not made by hands,
The clean wind, the clear sky,
Gray mist on green lands,
The owl’s hoot, the loon’s cry,
Falling waters, dancing light,
Full moon on a frosty night,
White drifts, whirled high,
These, the gifts not made by men,
The things which do not die,
Men must die but here will be
Life and immortality.

-Eliot G. Parkhurst
