Sacred Geometry in Nature

this is the time of year

when wasps nests have been vacated

where wind and rain loosen these artful bits

from where they were built

one can find their paper shells

these inner workings

upon the earthen floor of sylvan landscapes

a few days ago

when i was planting the Rowan tree

i heard a commotion

a squirrel chatting in a fitful manner

then a new sound

i looked to see what i think was a mink run across my bridge

in it's slinky movement

it ran

up and over logs and trees

then down the dirt road
gone

later i noticed at the base of a tree

three fresh holes dug

too large for our little tree squirrels

ah, it must have been that mink

i looked in the freshly dug dirt

found bits of underground bee or wasp nest

see above, the tiny beautiful structure

i sat it on top of one that is usually found in the trees

the large one is some sort of wasp nest

above is the back side of the small one

above is a different one i found

I find them to be so beautiful

similar to paper, cardboard or such

when the sun shines through

something ancient seems revealed

an enduring order

and beauty
