McCaws In The Amazon — Image by kenne

In the vast green breath of the Amazon,
three macaw travel together—
not by chance, but by trust.

The universe does not send
companions without reason.

It teaches us, through them,
how to journey without fear.

Campsite Supply Boat On A Foggy Morning On The Tuichi River In The Bolivian Amazon — Painting by kenne

I bear many scars,
but I also carry with me moments
that would not have happened
if I had not dared
to go beyond my limits.

Early morning fog

burned off

by mid-morning

taking with it

the wet air

and the jungle

darkness.

A Reunion, But For The Wrong Reason   1 comment

Three years ago this past August, Matt, Ty, Tom, and I were getting ready to get on the Tuichi River in the Bolivian Amazon.
It was an adventure of a lifetime that was being recalled as we gathered at the Quaker Meeting House in Tucson
for a memorial service for Tom Markey — sharing happy times in a moment of sadness.  (August 20, 2019)– Image by kenne

“Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden. My words echo
Thus, in your mind.
But to what purpose
Disturbing the dust on a bowl of rose-leaves
I do not know.
Other echoes
Inhabit the garden. Shall we follow?”

— T. S. Eliot

Ansel Adams has stated, “There are always two people in every picture: 

the photographer and the viewer.” By being in the moment, 

the photographer can help the viewer better understand

and better appreciate the moment.
