Make It Last A flash of orange and black through sun-splattered aspen leaves, the faintest glimpse of Baltimore Oriole; or the brilliant scarlet shoulder sheen as a Red-winged Blackbird warbles from its wind-bent cat-tail perch; or a high-above dissonant clamour of a passing startle of Snow Geese etched white on unmarred blue: rare moments the willfully blind view as commonplace, or do not see. Beauty surrounds us—no charge, no previous experience needed. Stand awhile. Look and listen. Make it last. by Glen Sorestad
