“Our continual mistake is that we do not concentrate upon the present day, the actual hour, of our life;
we live in the past or the future; we are continually expecting the coming of some special moment
when our life will unfold itself in its full significance. And we do not notice that life is flowing
like water through our fingers, sifting like precious grain from a loosely fastened bag.”

Butterflies And Desert Flowers After Monsoon Rains 2 comments
Surphur Butterflies on Creosole Bush Blossoms In Sabino Canyon (July 27, 2021) — Images by kenne
The recent monsoon rains have greened up the canyon, bringing out a lot of butterflies.
Unfortunately, I only had my 18-70 mm lens, so trying to photograph
the mostly surphur butterflies became challenging.

Giant Saguaro Cactus In Sabino Canyon — Image by kenne
Along the mountain ridges,
Across the desert floor;
Arms like verdant armor,
Stalwarts guard our door.
Shading for the lizard,
Haven for the wren,
Source of inspiration,
For past and present men.
–Earl Bloss, “Saguaros,” in Arizona Highways, 1973

A July Afternoon by the Pond Leave a comment
There is so much I like about the posting: Jack Kerouac, Steve Allen, Walt Whitman, and the way Frank created this artistic tapestry. Allen’s late-night show was much better than all those that have followed him. But then, I love Jazz and poetry. Whitman’s poem “A July Afternoon by the Pond” brings back many memories of time spent sitting by a pond, a lake, or a stream. Good job, Frank. Love the musical track. — kenne
I’m much enamored of this clip where Jack Kerouac appears on Steve Allen’s show on network television. This happened in 1959 when there was only triune TV culture in America —and less than that, there were often only two sides to things. Allen is going to open here by taking the side that Kerouac was an authentic writer of merit. The other side? Kerouac was a tiresome imposter best able to fool young people, who of course didn’t know any better.
Nobody knows what’s going to happen to anybody besides the forlorn rags of growing old. I think of Walt Whitman. I even think of old Walt Whitman the father we never found. I think of Walt. Whitman.
.
At around two and a half minutes into the clip, Allen and Kerouac have this interchange:
Allen starts it by asking “Who else writes poetic type prose, Thomas Wolfe I guess…”
