We can have both. Your poem is lovely, but so sad. I am hopeful: Heart of the Valley I feel the pulse of this valley I see that it beats Here and now Then I look to the line at my doorstep I want so to fill them If . . . But. . . How. . . ? Then I lift up my gaze to the forest I long for the wild And the free The thundering heart that I hear now Is beating so hard Is it me? The choices I see there are endless And the promises made Unfulfilled. Do I see in this stretch to the ocean A carpet of homes We could build? My heart feels the race and it quickens Shall I turn to the crowd In the hall? Shall I say of the heart of the valley? "Come with me, it beats For us all." For Wendy Herrett, who became for a while Forest Supervisor, Siuslaw National Forest, based in Corvallis, Oregon. I wanted to show Wendy that there were more choices and possibilities in her challenges than she may have realized. At the time forest management, which was my area of expertise, was very contentious. Corvallis is derived from French, meaning “Heart of the Valley.”
