The bluebird carries the sky on his back.
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why can't I?
Late in August the lure of the mountains becomes irresistible. Seared by the everlasting sunfire, I want to see running water again, embrace a pine tree, cut my initials in the bark of an aspen, get bit by a mosquito, see a mountain bluebird, find a big blue columbine, get lost in the firs, hike above timberline, sunbathe on snow and eat some ice, climb the rocks and stand in the wind at the top of the world on the peak of Tukuhnikivats.
Be like the bluebird who never is blue, For he knows from his upbringing what singing can do
