No Time For Despair 1 comment
Painted Lady — Photo-Artistry by kenne
There is no time for despair,
no place for self-pity,
no need for silence,
no room for fear.
We speak,
we write,
we do language.
That is how civilizations heal.

Fostering the Creation of An Illusion Leave a comment
Rose Canyon Lake In The Santa Catalina Mountains — Image by kenne
Hiking, watching each step
yet it is possible to look at
various distances engaging
my attention on many points
occurring in space around me.
Living in time passing,
it is easy to contemplate
past times with the present
state to retain its peace —
having combined the moment
with the past, thus fostering
the creation of an illusion
as if some future place and time.

a popular summertime hike on Mt. Lemmon connecting hikers
to Marshall Gulch without having to drive all the way up through Summerhaven.
