The only way to make
sense out of change
is to plunge into it,
move with it,
and join the dance.

must be caught
in the moment
prior to mid-day.

“Saguaro and Ocotillo Salad” — Image by kenne
Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone,
even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music.

Cactus flower 98
could have been
92,

I just like the way
98 sounds.

Life Stages of a Prickly Pear Blossom — Image by kenne
This prickly pear cactus blossom
is bright yellow when she opens,
turning pink, then darker shades
letting pollinators know
she is spent before closing.

Last night I tossed in sleep
something in my dream
was unreal, artificial,
everything made of glass —
no hammers allowed
swinging in the dark
matrix of matter.

Resting on a saguaro cactus bud
the white winged dove

You have taken this picture a hundred times
and you will take it again when its as time comes.
Each flower is like a snow flake, unique to itself,
molded by the light and darkness of time,
given movement by the spinning wind and
moisten by the gentle desert winter rains.
Yes, the blossom may look familiar
because your mind’s eye is reminding
you of other intimate moments
when you were taken by its beauty, but
this time you bring new subjective experiences
of time adding to your excitement as you observe
the mystery and the awe of the cactus blossom.

There are no extra pieces in the universe.
Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill,
and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle.

Penis Blossom — Grunge Art by kenne
“So beautiful of course compared
with what a man looks like
with his two bags full
and his other thing
hanging down out of him
or sticking up at you like a hatrack
no wonder they hide it with a cabbageleaf.”
— from Ulysses by James Joyce
