Delicate Arch, Arches National Park — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Arches
Under a moonlit sky
Stone arches tower above
Millennia in the making
Thoughts swirl through my head
Faster than the wind
Eroding my essence, like a smoothed stone
Shaping my being, sculpting my sense of self
Though the age old rocks whisper back
Only silence
For Mother Nature cares not for the trials of man
I am at the mercy of the beauty she created
Standing before me
In perfect silence

Now in the new year
Rain brought snow on higher peaks
Cool hikes down below.

The many will follow the beaten track
With guideposts on the way.
They live and have lived for ages back
With a chart for every day.
Someone has told them it’s safe to go
On the road he has traveled o’er,
And all that they ever strive to know
Are the things that were known before.
— from “The Things That Haven’t Been Done Before” by Edgar Guest

Heartleaf Goldeneye (April 13, 2017) — Computer Art by kenne
But it’s all still there in my heart and soul.
The walk, the hills, the sky, the solitary pain and pleasure —
they will grow larger, sweeter, lovelier in the days to come,
like a treasure found and then, voluntarily, surrendered.
Returned to the mountains with my blessing.
It leaves a golden glowing on the mind.”
— from “Beyond the Wall: Essays from the Outside” by Edward Abbey,

“Problems that remain persistently insoluble
should always be suspected as questions
asked in the wrong way”
