“There are no borders in bonsai,
the dove of peace flies to palace
as to a humble house,
to young as to old,
to rich and poor.”

Bonsai Bose Art and Loneliness Leave a comment
Bonsai Bose Art — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Loneliness is creeping in on my moments of solitude.
After a busy day, I have always enjoyed those moments of solitude,
an opportunity to relax and ponder existence. But with age,
solitude has become a prison of living day to day with weary pain.
I was a runner for years, then I became a jogger, now a walker
just trying to keep my balance. The change over time was slow enough,
allowing adjustments to the aging process. But in recent years,
the decline has begun to move at a hurried pace.
Strenght has disappeared, limbs have grown stiff, and every function
less accurate with every fiber of my being frail and overwrought with life.
So, here I am, imprisoned in the last stage of life, soon to become an empty ghost.
Still, I’m reminded, being old is a privilege.

Back In La Paz
An early morning
Streets still damp from a shower
In downtown La Paz.
Our stay will be short
Quick trip to Titicaca
Before flying home.

“Remember, when moving,
There is no place that doesn’t move.
When still,
There is no place that isn’t still.
First seek extension, then contraction;
Then it can be fine and subtle.
It is said,
If others don’t move,
I don’t move.
If others move slightly,
I move first.”
