“The Reader” — Photo-Artistry by kenne
“There is only one world,
the world pressing against
you at this minute.
There is only one minute
in which you are alive,
this minute here and now.
The only way to live
is by accepting each minute
as an unrepeatable miracle.”

Meditation is old and honorable, so why should I
not sit, every morning of my life, on the hillside,
looking into the shining world? Because, properly
attended to, delight, as well as havoc, is suggestion.
Can one be passionate about the just, the
ideal, the sublime, and the holy, and yet commit
to no labor in its cause? I don’t think so.
— from “What I Have Learned So Far” by Mary Oliver

Like yoga, stone balancing requires patience, focus, and a deep stillness of the mind. We have several in our yard and on the patio. “In a very literal sense, it feels like creating a state of union with the environment.” – Michael Grab

Life is all about balance.
Stones connect when
They are balanced
With earth’s center
Through your body —
A silent “click.”

Miller Creek Trail in the Rincon Mountains — Digital Art by kenne
“When you go out into the woods and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree. The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying ‘You’re too this, or I’m too this.’ That judging mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are.”
– Ram Dass

Cactus Digital Art — by kenne
Life, art, and logic are full of absurdities of various kinds.
We conceptualize absurdities when we
discuss square circles and circular squares.
It is art that is able to provide a mediator
between the strange and the real.

“The creative act is only an incomplete and abstract moment in the production of a work.”

The one thing we know about
forever, it doesn’t last too long.
