My Bigfoot muse and poet RiverMonk has been whispering in my ear. When he does I listen.

Bigfoot is not complicated. They are not scary nor prone to senseless violence unless you are. Thus, they are a viable mirror of intentions. When it comes to finding Bigfoot, you’ll get what you put into it.
Thanks for reading Off The Beaten Path, Conversations With TV shows are just that, TV shows. They are created to entertain, injected with drama and suspense through the use of camera tricks, sound effects and acting of a sort. These programs are all a mirage and will never accomplish the task of actually finding Bigfoot. Bigfoot just so happens to be a good subject for TV ratings.
Bigfoot in reality, is nothing like a big scary boogeyman that hunkers around leaving footprints and scat for researchers to analyze. He doesn’t strip the bark off huge trees or make crude nests out of sticks and stones. He doesn’t live in a cave. He’s much, much more than that. He’s a timeless traveler, a spiritual guide, a portal to higher dimensions and realities that exist behind the human mind’s barely cracked doors.
Open them a little further and you just might…

INTENTION
Thought is not a house
of limitations.
We do not end
at our fingertips
and we can walk
further than our legs
can carry us.
We can see beyond the reach

BIGFOOT PARCHMENT # 23 PATIENCE
This is a planet
where souls got dumped
and lost forever; rebels, artists and the malcontent.
We seldom get along.
We invented war and politics.
The Sasquatch watch, wait
and shake their heads. They transmigrate
out of their dimension
into this world of deep dark shit…
and mind-speak to us few that will listen.
I’ve been informed,
“Patience is a virtue until it ain’t.”

PEACH PIE
by Conversations With Sasquatch Author Richard Rensberry
The Sasquatch children
bring me peaches
ripe and warmed by the sun.
They bring rain water,
nasturtiums and honey comb.
They leave me a stone
rolling pin, a hollowed stump
with ground kenaf flour
and a huge carved bowl
for mixing fruit,
cinnamon, and cloves.
I heat my stove
to three hundred fifty degrees;
crack an egg of quail
and glaze the crust; then
clove and cinnamon dust
the honied peaches. I bake
and whip fresh sweet cream.
Done, I set the steaming pie
on the kitchen sill to cool. Patiently
I wait for their little feet. I can hear them
whisper as the porch boards creak,
then a giggle and a hand
reaches up
to steal my heart.

Many gifts from the Sasquatch come,
and this is a thumb stone.
It is something to think on
and a measure of patience.
It is a vessel that carries
the beauty of trust, first in oneself
and then in another. It is a guide
from the dark to the light.
Richard Rensberry author at https://www.conversationswithsasquatch.com

As the world evolves
men crawl over it;
the Sasquatch laugh
and knock on wood.
They come as crows
to give wings to the dead;
they come as squirrels
to plant seeds of truth.
They come as wolves
to yip and howl;
they come as owls
to seek who speaks
without moving their lips.

He stands at the edge of the creek
in the forest. If I stare
long and hard enough
it’s a tree, not a Bigfoot.
The tree’s image
has been spoken into my brain.
I can see it there,
thick trunked and multi-limbed,
thoroughly convincing me
it’s an oak or a beech.

Secrets
If you believe Sasquatch
to be an animal,
he most likely will accost you.
If your mind is made up
that he smells like a skunk, he’ll blatantly
stink you. If you treat him
like a dumb ass, he’ll deceive
and elude your presence
forever. If you treat him as an equal
he will tell you secrets
of the universe.
