Coming upon

Soften your will;

even the noble wish. Leave

hunting to hunters.

Practice coming upon.

Touch your heart,

bow your head when approached

by something wild.

…and we are all wild,
are we not? Is this
not why some feel
the most appropriate
greeting is a bow?

Beautiful.

    Going well, yes–but given the nature of this business, ask me in a couple of years…thanks–

I’ve experienced the reverence you write about, In the future, I’ll bow my head during those moments.
