Wild Cotton Blossom — Grunge Art by kenne

As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny,
we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom.
It happens in its own time.

“I dream of a quiet man who explains nothing and defends nothing,

but only knows where the rarest wildflowers are blooming,

and who goes, and finds that he is smiling not by his own will.”

— Wendell Berry

Arizona wild cotton (Gossypium thurberi) is a deciduous shrub with a lovely fall color. Also called desert cotton and
Mt. Lemmon cotton, this shrub can grow up to 10 feet tall by 4 feet wide. It has beautiful creamy white summer flowers,
and its palate leaves turn yellow and red in the fall before they fall off, and the plant goes dormant.

I’m left alone 
to face a blossom
in the darkness — 
preparing an image.
A busy day inside.

Blossoms now gone
Green leaves become read
Fall has arrived.

Wild Cotton Still-Life — A Place To Start   1 comment

A place to start

look at you
kenne g
you have taken multi-tasking to a fault

you need to be
more focused
uncomplicated

this is what they tell me
information is good
opinion
music
poetry
photo art
all are good

but, you are inexorable

demurred, I say
I do what I do
because I can

maybe you can’t,
you’re the problem
not me

all things are connected
not an isolated island
I choose to stay linked
open secret places
plant seeds
harvest thoughts
bucket ideas

but, you discard mind droppings

I mix and match
generating energy
to form inspiration

feel the heat
see the stream
it’s all shit

the shit sits
generating food
for tomorrow’s ideas
powering the music
stand up and dance
when I’m not here
there will be a place to start

but, you can add to my pile

(I wrote this poem November 2008 in response to being told that my blog needed to focus on one thing like photography, music, poetry, or art not many things — advice not taken.)
