Becoming is Superior to Being

Pot in the spotlight —
Look not in the pot for gold,
For it lies outside.
The Shaman can till —
Look inside yourself for gold,
In the altered state.

A Blooming Foothills Palo Verde In Tanuri Ridge (April 11, 2018, Tucson, Arizona) — Image by kenne
There is no glory in star or blossom till looked upon by a loving eye;
There is no fragrance in April breezes till breathed with joy as they wander by.

For five years I have taught nature photography to seventh-grade students as part of a “Science Day” in Sabino Canyon. I recently received some thank you notes, and a few are shared here.
Thank you for teaching us about photography and how it is supposed to reflect us.
*****
Thank you so much for volunteering to teach us about photography!
I learned a lot about finding things in nature to photograph,
and I will definitely use it in the future!
*****
Thank you for teaching us how to take awesome pics,
I showed my mom, she says it cool.
Of all the classes I took part in during my time in the hummingbird course,
your photography walk was by far my favorite.
I started photography when I was about 8,
and being able to take photos in Sabino was a privilege.
I will definitely remember what you taught us. Thank you!
*****
You have taught me a lot between life and photography.
I have learned the relationship between philosophy and photography.
*****
Thank you for teaching us so much about the environment in Sabino Canyon
and how to look for something to photograph in the canyon.
Thank you for spending your time with us instead of being around
a group of non-disruptive people.
You were so thoughtful and had a lot of knowledge.
You were also super funny, and fun to learn and hike with.
*****
Thank you for volunteering your time for us to have a better experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed your photography lesson and advice.
Thank you for teaching me to capture the moment
in nature with a photo and that photo being “yourself.”

“Does it matter whether one is required to complete the work
or whether one is free to desist from the work
if you must meet a final art that certainly you did not make?”
*****
“Philosophical problems are conceptual confusions
that arise when a form of utterance appropriate
to one mode of discourse is mistakenly used in the wrong context
Confusions must be unpicked employing ordinary uses of language.”

Little guy
high in the sky
I know
you see me
as I pass by
darting down
near me for a
closure look
only to quickly
move on by.
