“Dreams Are The Seedlings Of Realities.” 3 comments
Amanita Muscaria Mushrooms — Photo-Artistry by kenne
The greatest achievement was
at first and for a time a dream.
The oaks sleeps in the acorn;
the bird waits in the egg;
and in the highest vision
of the soul a waking angel stirs.
Dreams are the seedlings of realities.

Perhaps nothing about a person is more potent,

Mushroom Transportation
A pinch of color
in a morning
of black and white
beginning to glow
as if a light emerging
from the dark earth.

On Top
All this new stuff goes on top
turn it over, turn it over
wait and water down
from the dark bottom
turn it inside out
let it spread through
Sift down even.
Watch it sprout.
A mind like compost.

Magic Mushroom On Mt. Lemmon Leave a comment
Magic Mushroom On Mt. Lemmon — Computer Art by kenne
I went on this magical trip…
Out of reality, in a fantasy world,
Everything seemed to be so peaceful and perfect!
All harmony… no hate…
I soon realized I got to see the raw truth of reality,
but from a different point of view,
of contrasts and with no metaphors nor euphemisms.

Brother, you are gone,
that which was earth
gone back to earth,
that which was human
scattered like rain
into the darkened
wild eyes of herbs.

“Big Red” Image by kenne
A mushroom
alone
burrows out
of the ground
pine nettles
hang from its
head
entering a new
world
out of darkness
into the
light of day.

Fly Agaric Mushroom — The Elf Of Plants 1 comment
Fly Agaric Mushroom (Bid Red) — Image by kenne
The Mushroom is the Elf of Plants –
At Evening, it is not
At Morning, in a Truffled Hut
It stopopon a Spot
As if it tarried always
And yet it’s whole Career
Is shorter than a Snake’s Delay –
And fleeter than a Tare –
’Tis Vegetation’s Juggler –
The Germ of Alibi –
Doth like a Bubble antedate
And like a Bubble, hie –
I feel as if the Grass was pleased
To have it intermit –
This surreptitious Scion
Of Summer’s circumspect.
Had Nature any supple Face
Or could she one contemn –
Had Nature an Apostate –
That Mushroom – it is Him!
— Emily Dickinson

A mushroom blossom
Doesn’t attract butterflies,
But pleasing beetle.
A pleasing beetle
Is not a lady beetle,
Black on blue not red.

Mushrooms As A Metaphor Leave a comment
Kickback Rock Mushroom — Computer Art by kenne
Mushrooms as a Metaphor
“. . . there are several types of mushrooms: some are edible while others are poisonous. Hence the mushroom represents the uncertainty in today’s world where one is unsure of one’s step, having to be cautious because what lies ahead could be either beneficial or unsafe.”

Montagnea Mushroom (December 8, 2015) — Image by kenne
While out running yesterday in Tucson I saw what at first looked like an eight inch stick standing straight up in the rocky soul. But after a closerlook I could tell that it was a montagnea mushroom that grows at the lower elevations of the Sonoran Desert

mushrooms push up
through the forest floor
first sneaking below ground
as rain drops star the clock —
tick-tock, tick-tock
