Great Blue Heron Visited A Neighbor’s House — Image by kenne
Although one might not expect to see a Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) in the Sonoran Desert, they have an extensive range and occur throughout much of North and Central America wherever there is water. If you happen to have a koi or goldfish pond in your backyard, you may be visited by a heron.

Sometimes you hear them
Their humming sound makes us look
Making eye contact.

There are moments
down deep inside
when I scream —
Nobody gets in
to see the wizard
not nobody,
not no how.

This sandgrain day in the bent bay’s grave He celebrates and spurns His driftwood eighty-second wind turned age; Herons spire and spear.

The Hills of Cualann
In the youth of summer The hills of Cualann Are two golden horns, Two breasts of childing, Two two of light.
In the age of winter They are two rusted swords, Two waves of darkness, Two moons of ice.

Winter solstice 2022 in Northern Hemisphere will be at 2:47 PM on Wednesday, December 21 MST — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Â
The waxing of the sun, that
moment of solstice when
everything is still,
everything is silent —
an exotic moment of being
with darkness
giving birth to light
to which we celebrate
the relationship,
the moment of being
in the birthplace of life.

Autumn Sunset — Image by kenne
“I close my eyes Only for a moment, then the moment’s gone All my dreams Pass before my eyes, a curiosity…
Same old song Just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see…
Now, don’t hang on Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky It slips away And all your money won’t another minute buy…
Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind.”
— Kansas
