BURNING CONSCIOUSNESS!! Leave a comment
I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking,
what I’m looking at,
what I see and what it means.
What I want and what I fear.

Sonoran Abstract 2 comments
Sonoran Abstract — Photo-Artistry by kenne
All art contains elements taken
from what is perceived as real.
The more elements are distorted,
reflecting a common ground
of color and line, allowing
each to stand alone,
while searching for new ways
to express emotions beyond
the reach of words.

Be A Flower Leave a comment

Be a flower.
Be a seed.
Let your growth
Arouse curiosity.
Let it fascinate
And amaze.
Let it inspire the artist
And the scientist.
Let it shock the doubters.
Let it grant hope
To the hopeless.
Let it begin in silence,
And end with a loud bang.
Don’t be an open book –
Be mysterious.
Be extraordinary,
Be undefinable,
Be a ball of fiery fire,
And above all,
Grow in silence,
And let your success
Do the talking.

“The world isn’t just the way it is. It is how we understand it, no?
And in understanding something, we bring something to it, no?
Doesn’t that make life a story?”

You should always know
when you’re shifting gears
in life.
You should leave your era,
it should never leave you.

Nothingness 2 comments
Brother Tom at the Fish Market Window in Seattle — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Nothingness
Staring out the window
nothing comes into view,
fog drafts off the sound
It doesn’t matter
if nothing is seen,
gaze drafts afar
Even the usual seagulls
are overlooked,
even their calls
It is as if my senses
have ceased,
for the duration
Standing at the window
in my solitude,
fade into nothingness
Yet, still waiting
in my loneliness,
the vacuum to end.

A Pernicious Source . . . Leave a comment
8th Grade Student Deciding Whether To Eat The Berries — Image by kenne
“A pernicious source of bad decisions in our lives…
Knowing just enough about a topic to think you’re right,
Knowing just enough about a topic to think you’re right,
but not enough to know you’re wrong.“

Love Should Manifest Itself . . . 2 comments
Yellow Cactus Blossoms — Tiled Gallery by kenne
Suffering occurs when we want
other people to love us in the way
that we imagine we want to be loved,
and not in the way that love should manifest itself
— free and untrammeled,
guiding us with its force and driving us on.

“Direction is so much more important than speed.” Or said another way;
“Sometimes being low is the best way to reach your goal,
just think about what you may learn on the way.”

Pipevine Swallowtail Abstract — Photo-Artistry by kenne
“There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual.
Such are the moments of our greatest happiness. Such are the moments of our greatest wisdom.
If one could but recall his vision by some sort of sign. It was in this hope that the arts were invented.
Sign-posts on the way to what may be. Sign-posts toward greater knowledge.”
— Robert Henri
