Mighty and dreadful are your tall columns here,
(through soul and love put you in deep shade)
for you outnumber man and outscore even life itself,
and you are roughly tied with God and, strangely, eyes.
— from Unholy Sonnet # 1 by Billy Collins

Just doing, you know.

Nature’s Stairway to Heaven 3 comments
Zion National Park, Temples, and Towers of the Virgin Panorama (June 10, 2014) — Image by kenne
Temples and towers
Nature’s stairway to heaven
With white angel wings.
In this promised land
A desert sanctuary —
Music of waters.
Navajo sandstone
Majestic cliffs of color
Carved by rain fingers.

Zion Nation Park Snapshots II 2 comments
Our road trip in late April took use through Zion National Park. This was the fourth time in the park, however, unlike the others, we didn’t spend time in the park. The snapshots were acquired by stopping along the route through the park. (Click or touch, depending on your device, to see the images in a slideshow format.)

“Your photography is a record of your living – for anyone who really sees. You may see and be affected by other people’s ways, you may even use them to find your own, but you will have eventually to free yourself of them. That is what Nietzche meant when he said, ‘I have just read Schopenhauer, now I have to get rid of him.’ He knew how insidious other people’s ways could be, particularly those which have the forcefulness of profound experience, if you let them get between you and your own personal vision.”

While in southern Utah we drove through this beautiful park on a splendid weather day on our way to St. George, Utah where we would be spending the night before driving on to Las Vegas. More Zion National Park images later.

“A serene solidified sanctuary where
Sandstone towers seem like sentinels
Savoring the rays of the searing sun
Accentuating the red rock’s rusty colors”

To live for some future goal is shallow.
It’s the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.

Zion Lodge Panorama In Zion Canyon 1 comment
Zion Lodge Panorama In Zion Canyon, Zion National Park (September 14, 2016) — Images by kenne
My Zion
Stains across an aerie altar, white-streaked red
suspended above my reach, but not my sight.
Perhaps ancient titans sacrificed, honored, bled
now revealed in golden strains of morning light.
My Zion, my refuge
from all it is not.
Oh Zion, my haven
where solace was sought.
Did angels take wing from that lofty perch?
Does the stone truly weep for ages past?
When bygone men for food here did search
in the giant’s throne shadow cast.
This Zion, my friend
please show me how
Oh Zion, my Zion
if only time would allow.
Steps upon crimson sand and stone
as wind, water, eons carve and hew,
I realize my soul was still unknown.
for what was old is now new.

A few remaining clouds
sailed into the sunset
leaving behind
golden sandstone cathedrals,
soon to be dark silhouettes
against the glow
of desert night sky.
