“Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers.
The question of what to do with the feelings that have been aroused,
the knowledge that has been communicated. If one feels
that there is nothing ‘we’ can do — but who is that ‘we’? —
and nothing ‘they’ can do either — and who are ‘they’ —
then one starts to get bored, cynical, apathetic.”
― from Regarding the Pain of Others by Susan Sontag

This summer, the Big Horn Fire caused so much damage to the National Forest
in the Santa Catalina Mountains remains closed to the public. Therefore,
hiking and photographing wildflowers in the Catalinas will not be in 2020,
which provides a good excuse to revisit some wildflower photos over the past ten summers.

WATERMARK
In every desert, travelers have dried up in the sun,
with shallow wells of water right below them.
perhaps they left too soon, too young, too desperate to run
towards something or away from something else.
Perhaps they hadn’t learned the way to read the tiny trails,
the watermarks remaining from a people who have gone,
whose hieroglyphs translate — in the direction is a spring
of sweet water. Look for it. Or is it, listen?

Night Blooming Cereus — Images by Phil Bentley
One of the strangest plants of the desert, the night-blooming cereus, is a member 
of the cactus family that resembles nothing more than a dead bush most of the year.
It is rarely seen in the wild because of its inconspicuousness. But for one midsummer’s night each year,
its exquisitely scented flower opens as night falls, then closes forever with the first rays of the morning sun.

Blooming Brittlebush — Image by kenne
I attend to this moment
less it goes unattended
by the bee flying
in and out of time
only to be lost in a
wild thyme unseen
just to be conquered
and reconciled again.

Spring temps near eighty
Icy cold water flows —
Swarms of new insects.

Your chicory may be blue,
we prefer our chicory white
not the chicory in your stew
unless we are interested in a byte.
