Costa’s hummingbirds are common in the Tucson desert area this time of year, but not often in Nebraska. This morning, the Arizona Daily Star had front-page lead article: Costa’s hummingbird set free after rescue, road trip. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qjum7TybOGVU6iObzWNUEeSscKyZ0IzTqe2ndFxZN0Q/edit?usp=sharing

“Hummingbird darts lightly through the world, spreading its message of joy and beauty,
and teaching us to appreciate the wonder and magic of everyday existence.”

Costa’s Hummingbird in Sabino Canyon — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Hummingbirds flutter
They hurry everywhere
Darting and diving
Busy looking for food
One chaotic mess
Till they stop to rest.

Don’t Allow the Lucid Moment to Dissolve
Don’t allow the lucid moment to dissolve
Let the radiant thought last in stillness
though the page is almost filled and the flame flickers
We haven’t risen yet to the level of ourselves
Knowledge grows slowly like a wisdom tooth
The stature of a man is still notched
high up on a white door
From far off, the joyful voice of a trumpet
and of a song rolled up like a cat
What passes doesn’t fall into a void
A stoker is still feeding coal into the fire
Don’t allow the lucid moment to dissolve
On a hard dry substance
you have to engrave the truth
— Adam Zagajewski
