MD Black-Eye Susan Nominee #4 - Beneath

 

Beneath

By Cori Doerrfeld

There are so many things that are beneath the surface that we don't see, but are important. The roots of a tree that gives it nutrients and life. A fox that hears a mouse underneath the ground. Beneath decomposing leaves is the beginning of life or protection of life. Beneath the crying child, may be a child who is hungry. Beneath the wrinkles of an older woman can be a lifetime of experiences. Beneath the stars can be us...family...friends...the things that truly matter. Beneath is a beautiful book of seeing things from a different angle and thinking on a deeper level that what is before you.
