Iris to Iris – Doubs River Gorge, France

Iris to Iris – Doubs River Gorge, France (Jake Graham Photography)
And with that morning light, I looked deep into the forest’s eye; iris to iris.
And with that snowdrop it was spring
Without compass and map

Olympic National Park, Washington (Jake Graham Photography)
I look up into the iris of the Olympic’s rain forest canopies. I am without compass, map and memory, but I am not lost. Indeed, far beyond the knowledge of our material world, I know precisely where I am.
