Red Rock, Sedona   Leave a comment

Red Rock, Sedona

Below the cliffs,
an old tree lies—
roots exposed,
its body weathered gray
by seasons of wind and sun.

It seems less fallen
than resting,
a figure stretched beneath
the iron-red slope,
its limbs now gone.

And yet,
in the stillness,
the tree remains—
not defeated,
but folded back
into the silence
that bore it.

1.

red stone sings—
shadows stitched
to light.

2.

rust & bone,
rocks burning
without fire.

3.

the canyon
keeps color,
time stacked
in silence.

Summoning The Vortex   Leave a comment

Summoning the Vortex, Sedona, Arizona (06/15/16) Image by kenne

Vortex to Nowhere

Vortex to Nowhere
Life sinning around
Death approaches the rim
It tries to take you down

Vortex to nowhere
The mystery beyond
Life in it’s final stage
The death race has begun

O great vortex take me home
My life upon this Earth no more
Take me to the world beyond
O great vortex take me home

Vortex to nowhere
Swallow me up
Take away my pain
Let me drink your poisoned cup

Vortex to nowhere
The darkness looms
Death awaits
Within your gloom

O great vortex take me home
My life upon the Earth no more
Take me to the world beyond
Oh great vortex take me home

“Armchair complaints do not leave your living room,

so fight for justice, question, protest, criticize, write

and read letters, poetry, songs, speeches, sermons or legislation.

The arc of history tends toward justice, but you must bend it.”

— Christopher Fox Graham (Managing Editor of the Sedona Red Rock News)

Red Rock Country — Sedona   6 comments

Last week James, Jill, and Hugh visited us for six days from Houston. In addition to taking in sites around Tucson,
we went north to Sedona, Flagstaff, and The Grand Canyon. Here are a few images from the Sedona area.

Hiking Cathedral Rock   9 comments

Cathedral Rock Trail, Sedona, Arizona — Images by kenne

“This is a short 0.7 mile but strenuous trail which quickly rises 608 feet in elevation. The midsection of the trail
has a near vertical segment which requires climbing.  The trail is well marked and many hikers can be found
using the trail.  The trail traverses the east side of the mountain and thus the hike is better taken in the
afternoon so one is hiking in the shade. On the top, there is a narrow plateau with steep slopes on each side.
The width is about that of a wide sidewalk and several stones are perfect for sitting. One can enjoy the view if
not afraid of the heights.”

Our continual mistake is that we do not

concentrate upon the present day, the

actual hour, of our life: we live in the past

or in the future; we are continually expecting

the coming of some special moment when

our life will unfold itself in its full significance.

And we do not notice that life is flowing life

water through our fingers.
