The Wild And The Wise | Houghton Hall

The white fallow deer of Haughton Hall are one of Norfolk’s natural wonders. But also beautiful are the wild red deer you can see on the estate of Holkham Hall. Norfolk is home to many wild deer, from Chinese water deer to muntjacs – there’s something so magical about finding them. Try exploring the Broads national park to spot a deer in the wild, too! Or learn about the deer of Dereham. Link to East Dereham town sign © Adrian S Pye :: Geograph Britain and Ireland

The Wild and The Wise

The white deer appears, calling, to the place

in us all that listens to the wind and hears

the Earth dancing. Calling us back to ourselves

and our blessed, beautiful lives.

 

The world, a circle of tree roots,

signalling the sky, finding our way home,

while clouds glow red like deer, that gather.

Here with the wild and the wise.
