Cactus Wren On a Dead Limb — Photo-Artistry by kenne
“Our Earthly seasons are a consequence not of our proximity to our star,
but rather they are due to the 23.5 degree tilt of the Earth relative to the
Earth-sun plane, known as the celestial ecliptic. Literally speaking, axial tilt
is the reason for the seasons.”
Feel the Sun!

What is a fish without a river?
What is a bird without a tree to nest in?
What is an Endangered Species Act without
any enforcement mechanism to ensure
their habitat is protected? It is nothing.

Arizona Morning Cactus Wren On A Saguaro Cactus — Photo-Artistry by kenne
High thin clouds blanket the sky overnight
moving on as the sun warms the day to
the grinding sound of the cactus wren.
Will today become the first triple-digit
day of the summer, or will it be tomorrow?
The annual guessing game goes on.

Lonely wren
high atop a saguaro
resting on spins
no drops of blood
only manipulating
carefully while
coolly surveying
the desert floor
against a cloudless sky.

Cactus Wren in Sabino Canyon — Image by kenne
Hail to thee, blithe Spirit!
Bird thou never wert,
That from Heaven, or near it,
Pourest thy full heart
In profuse strains of unpremeditated art.
Higher still and higher
From the earth thou springest
Like a cloud of fire;
The blue deep thou wingest,
And singing still dost soar, and soaring ever singest.
— from To a Skylark by Percy Shelley

“Cactus Wren On A Limb” — Photo-Artistry by kenne
A place to start
look at you
kenne g
you have taken
multi-tasking to a felt
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 shits
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 went to the desert
to seek my own saint.
