"Logging" by Trudy Danny

In honor of Calkins Day this Thursday, I'm sharing a poem called "Logging," which was written by Trudy Danny, a character in "Recovering Ruthless," the third book in the BryonySeries Ruthless trilogy by Ed Calkins, Steward of Tara.

Calkins Day 2025 will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at The Book Market in Crest Hill. The drop-in celebration will include free food, a chance to win an original acrylic waterscape painted by Ed’s wife Nancy Calkins (an accomplished artist and retired art teacher), and the opportunity to purchase books authored by Ed and books in which Ed appears as a character.

This post tells you everything you need to know about Calkins Day 2025 and why you should even bother celebrating it.

This post tells about the free painting you can win that night.

This post gives you ideas about the best gift you can give Ed that night (it's verbal and will cost you nothing).

Enjoy!



 A sacred site so come inside.

There's grounds to hunt and homes to hide

the forests of the realm abide

that tree shall serve souls soulfully


We also serve your creature care

our fruit your fill, you taste our air

Your want of wood we won't despair

save we should serve you soulfully


divine the grace the gross our earth

How sweet the sun. How tart the earth.

How holy had a human birth.

Is why we serve you soulfully.


When woodsmen come to fall a tree,

feel droplets of our sympathy,

then comprehend serenity,

that's how we serve you soulfully.
