Lights up the desert.

Living In The Desert 3 comments
Blooming Over Night — Image by kenne
I’ve lived in the desert —
now many springs
surrounded by beauty
that comes and goes
utterly without regret
each season I capture
moments of immortal
medicine still provides
a sharp and solid mine.

Signs Of May In Tucson Leave a comment
Palo Verde Blossoms and White-winged Dove Atop a Saguaro — Image by kenne
There are many signs of May being here; however, two really stand out: (1) Yellow Palo Verde Blossoms are everywhere;
(2) have arrived and a ready to be a pollinator for the Saguaro cacti. When saguaros flower, white-winged doves move
from flower to flower, sipping nectar and pollinating the plant. Once the flowers become fruit, the doves have a new food source.

“I’m an observer of life. I like to watch people, and I like to watch cactus.
I like to talk to mountains and communicate with my friends in the other spheres and dimensions.”

Like clockwork, our Christmas cactus has begun to bloom, which means it’s now out of the utility room
and will spend the Holidays in the dining room.

Desert Landscape Leave a comment
Desert Landscape — Image by kenne
“Alone in the silence, I understand for a moment the dread which many feel in the presence of primeval desert,
the unconscious fear which compels them to tame, alter or destroy what they cannot understand, to reduce the wild
and prehuman to human dimensions. Anything rather than confront directly the anti-human, that other world
which frightens not through danger or hostility but in something far worse – its implacable indifference.”
― Edward Abbey

Cactus Blossom Art by kenne
I feel that a real living form is the natural result
of the individual’s effort to create the living thing
out of the adventure of his spirit into the unknown
— where it has experienced something — felt something —
it has not understood — and from that experience
comes the desire to make the unknown — known —
Making the unknown — known — in terms of one’s medium
is all absorbing — if you stop to think of form — as form
you are lost — The artist’s form must be inevitable —
You mustn’t think you won’t succeed —
— Georgia O’Keeffe

Cactus Flower Leave a comment
Cactus Blossom –Photo-Artistry by kenne
Cactus Flower
Sun, glare, heat, sweat
Dry, hot, summer, parched
Thirst
Brightly colored blossoms excite, invite
Gems
Longing for a hug
Not emotionally available
Sage green so tall and free, yet not a tree
Blooming high towards the desert sky
Far out of reach, not open to being that close
Pining for snuggles
Spikes
Burning desire to reciprocate your grandeur, but you don’t answer
Thorns
Glorious beauty
Why why why not for me?
Someday
Will I ever be, your bee?

So life can move on.

I wait for the moment
I’ll return to the trails
as I did for twelve years
beneath Tucson’s blue sky
in some world of youth
and springtime. Give me,
Powers of the Universe,
the springtime but
spare me the child.
