Hope to see you there!“Waiting” by John Burroughs
John Burroughs
I’m still working on the final version of John Burroughs poem “Waiting.” So far there is guitar and three voices a la Crosby, Stills and Nash or so I’ve been told! Yet I thought that was a great compliment!
This poem interested me in that I feel Burroughs has connected with an eternal truth which is in essence: what is mine shall come to me. In it he seems to say accept who you are and from that acceptance your life will unfold as it should and all that is required will come in it’s perfect time. He points toward the natural synchronicity of nature and life and the co-ordination of the inner and outer expressions of life.
Burroughs was a nature enthusiast and writer along the lines of Thoreau, Emerson and Whitman.
In the words of his biographer Edward Renehan, Burroughs’s special identity was less that of a scientific naturalist than that of “a literary naturalist with a duty to record his own unique perceptions of the natural world.” (from Wikipedia)
It is a great honor and joy to conect with these great writers through music. I hope I serve the ideas they brought to light in a way that enhances and enlivens the written words.
Here’s the poem. Waiting by John Burroughs
