January 19: CONSISTENCY. Many Thanks to Warren for today’s prompt, as we take a moment or two each day this month to reflect on words that come from the community. And thanks to Linda G Hill for getting us organized!

High atop the mountain, trees look more like shrubs, demarcating flat plats of land,
Spreading toward an as yet to be determined line
When land drops away and sky begins. Continue reading
