Joy and son Justin, a week of celebrating his 40th birthday in Las Vegas and Zion National Park. — Image by kenne
We drove,
they flew
for a celebration
in Vegas,
hiking
in Zion and
a blast-off
to the next
forty on
Fremont Street.

It is a damn poor mind indeed which can’t think of at least two ways to spell any word.
######
Any man worth his salt
will stick up for what he believes right,
but it takes a slightly better man
to acknowledge instantly and
without reservation that he is in error.

Bourbon on the Rocks 2 comments
Kenne philosophizing on becoming the next president of the Sabino Canyon Volunteer Naturalists (SCVN),
after returning from visiting friends and family in east Texas.
no leaders, please
invent yourself and then reinvent yourself
don’t swim in the same slough.
invent yourself and then reinvent yourself
and
stay out of the clutches of mediocrity.
invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,
change your tone and shape so often that they can
never
categorize you.
reinvigorate yourself and
accept what is
but only on the terms that you have invented
and reinvented.
be self-taught.
and reinvent your life because you must;
it is your life and
its history
and the present
belong only to
you.

Down On The Bayou 1 comment
“Down On the Bayou” — Images by kenne
A lone cloud moves by
collecting others
as the day warms up
over the east Texas swamp.
Here’s the thing,
if you desire
to go on a bayou
nature walk
bring mosquito spray
and a small cooler
of Saint Arnold beer
to watch swamp critters —
alligators,
deer,
nutria,
otters,
bobcats,
coyotes,
and many species of snakes
and birds.
Without cat-like patience
spotting wildlife
can be nearly invisible
to the naked.
It sounds like a vacation spot:
Eagle Point.
But let’s call it what it is
a place where family rules.
We.
Would.
Not.
Be.
Here.
If not for the family.
