To Make An End Is To Make A Beginning Leave a comment
Anna’s Hummingbird — Image by kenne
What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from. And every phrase
And sentence that is right (where every word is at home,
Taking its place to support the others,
The word neither diffident nor ostentatious,
An easy commerce of the old and the new,
The common word exact without vulgarity,
The formal word precise but not pedantic,
The complete consort dancing together)
Every phrase and every sentence is an end and a beginning,
Every poem an epitaph.
— from Little Gidding by T. S. Eliot

Three Stages Of Hummingbird Feeding 2 comments
Hummingbird Feeder Art by kenne
I’ve been watching the pattern hummingbirds seen to follow coming to the feeder on our patio, especially
when I’m on the patio. I divided it into three stages, and I created a short video of those stages.

Lucid Moments 1 comment
Costa’s Hummingbird Outside Kitchen Window – Image by kenne
Don’t Allow the Lucid Moment to Dissolve
Don’t allow the lucid moment to dissolve
Let the radiant thought last in stillness
though the page is almost filled and the flame flickers
We haven’t risen yet to the level of ourselves
Knowledge grows slowly like a wisdom tooth
The stature of a man is still notched
high up on a white door
From far off, the joyful voice of a trumpet
and of a song rolled up like a cat
What passes doesn’t fall into a void
A stoker is still feeding coal into the fire
Don’t allow the lucid moment to dissolve
On a hard dry substance
you have to engrave the truth
— Adam Zagajewski

Oh little bird, little bird
Come fly by my head
So I can hear your wings
Churn the air around me.
