Pangaea

Pangaea

Surrounded by a global ocean called Panthalassa.

Back at the home I never left,
though I traveled 4000 miles,
over mountains,
across plains,
and into canyons
all too happy to share their stories
of a continent called Pangaea.

Wherever I go,
the Earth holds a tiny place for me,
offering me glimpses of God
in myriad landscapes and creatures.

What I don't know holds me,
and then pours wine
for my thirsty soul.

I'm fascinated by the narrative of geology,
and I'm a veritable pack rat of a collector on the road.
I keep a rock hammer in my car.
