the little monk

the little monk

the little monk loves walking barefooted beside his grandpa down rows of tomato plants and peach trees, holding his calloused hand, listening to life

the little monk knows a fin whale can sing a song on one side of the Atlantic Ocean that can be heard by a fin whale on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, and he wonders at the beauty of it all

the little monk loves 3 shades of yellow - the brilliant yellow of the morning sun over the ocean, the quiet yellow of summer shucked corn in a basket, and the deep yellow of sunflowers in a field

- Trevor Scott Barton, from ‘the little monk,’ 2020
