I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers
254

"Hope" is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul—
And sings the tune without the words—
And never stops—at all—

And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard—
And sore must be the storm—
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm—

I've heard it in the chillest land—
And on the strangest Sea—
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb—of Me.

Emily Dickinson

More on The Crooked River Petroglyph

This from www.waymarking.com about the

Crooked River Petroglyph

In 1961, three years before Lake Billy Chinook was created behind Round Butte Dam, University of Oregon archaeologist Luther S. Cressman surveyed the three river canyons in the reservoir area. Of notable interest was this massive, engraved basalt boulder along the west bank of the Crooked River. Because its location would be flooded, the Crooked River Petroglyph was moved in the winter of 1963 and placed at this site, approximately one mile from its original location. The Petroglyph was found on lands ceded to the Federal Government by the Warm Springs and Wasco Indians as part of the Middle Oregon Treaty of 1855. The Petroglyph is now on lands managed by the Oregon State Parks Department.

This rock and petroglyph were moved from a place within a mile of it's current location.Otherwise it would have been drowned in Lake Billy Chinook.

Me on the voyage/tour with Dylan and Matt

The zigzag trail that Matty took to the top and around Smith Rock. I was sick so I stayed behind and relaxed at the top. I LOVE Smith Rock.
