give me time to sing to the tunes of your precious birds, time to catch a glimpse of a robin just hatching from its egg. time to witness a flower opening at dawn. give me time to walk among endless corniields and feel the fresh air soothe the interior of my bones. i want so much to be among what you have created. gve me time to slash into your vast oceans, to swim in the coldest lake, to watch tadpoles swim in a quiet pond. time to catch a frog, or climb a tree in search of a squirrel. give me time to hear a grasshoppefs music in the early moming, time to watch the rising of the sun or the setting of a rough day. time to wander through a forest, not knowing where it begins or ends. give me time, father, to do the things thati would to do, now what everyone else expects of me, but time to feel the immense beauty you have given us all. time to stop everything, and leam through experience what the world around me is really like. give me time-oh, give me time, father, to be with you alone. pamela swift Editors Note: All photographic reproductions by Kevin Van Schaick 160
