Difficult to see

Black, gray, brown matches the tree

Until there’s movement.

San Fransico Peaks (1 of 1)_art blogSan Fransisco Peaks — Computer Painting by kenne

Driving south

near the edge

of the Navaho Nation,

snow-capped peaks

forming snow lines

in deep fissures —

I muse on

Bukowski:

“as the

spirit

wanes

the form appears.”

Airport Loop Trail (1 of 1)-11 blogBee & Mesquite Beetle on a Prickly Pear Blossom — Image by kenne

I would not sacrifice a single living mesquite tree for
any book ever written. One square mile of living desert is
worth a hundred “great books” — and one brave deed
is worth a thousand.

Don’t Touch!   1 comment

Old Man On a Box (1 of 1)-2_edit blog“Don’t Touch!” — Image by kenne

you’re probably wondering
why I took this photograph,
well, so am I –
nothing better to do, I guess,
other than window-shop
along the historic
main street of Sedona,

when I saw this manikin
of an old card shark
who had once
been a young man,
now too old to stand up,
too old to dress himself
and too old to care.

the truth is, it was the
“Don’t Touch!” sign
held there on his vest
by a safety-pin, since he
was also too old to touch,
a problem that wouldn’t be
if he were an old wooden Indian.

Bee on Blossom –A Picture Is More Than A Picture   2 comments

Bee on Blossom (1 of 1) blogBee and Blossom — Image by kenne

If a picture

of a bee on a blossom

is the same as any picture

of a bee on a blossom,

then you are missing out

on how physical and emotional

conditions change each picture

bringing poetry to the

captured moment.

Growing Orbits

I live my life in growing orbits
which move out over the things of the world.
Perhaps I can never achieve the last,
but that will be my attempt.

I am circling around God, around the ancient tower,
and I have been circling for a thousand years,
and I still don’t know if I am a falcon, or a storm,
or a great song.

— R. M. Rilke
