Close the Gate!

Please 🙂

Come on in!

Love to have you here, truly.

Of course, your presence is impossible without first creating a path. All I ask is that you simply

Shut it behind you.

Enjoy this precious space that I have cultivated with good fences and better locks.

There are things outside that we don’t want in, and things inside that we don’t want out.

Here, safe, is where they are best enjoyed for both our sakes. Your

Enthusiasm for entry is appreciated, and I do love to share so

Go forth! Explore! Just please, if you would…

Attend the doorway. You may pass, but only as a guest

Trails, streams, tails, and dreams

Entry AND exit is the only test.
