I look at nature
Knowing its beauty is there
Because we see it.

By all means marry;
if you get a good wife,
you’ll become happy;
if you get a bad one,
you’ll become a philosopher.

Sharing a place
part of nature’s design,
yet by accident.
Was it a random act,
part of a grand experiment
of how nature works
On a stage
where all things
play out in space and time?
Maybe,
but for the moment,
it’s all about now
That gives us
beautiful wildflowers
blooming every spring.

Design is the fundamental soul
of a human-made creation
that ends up expressing itself
in successive outer layers
of the product or service.

Your chicory may be blue,
we prefer our chicory white
not the chicory in your stew
unless we are interested in a byte.

Capturing The Moment — Silverpuff and Desert Chicory 6 comments
Silverpuff and Desert Chicory — Image by kenne
They grow up together
maturing in the desert sun.
She became a
beautiful white flower —
chicory by name.
Soon one night
he blossomed
into a handsome
yellow flower
only to change
dramatically
by mid-morning
to a silver globe —
silverpuff by name.
Standing there alone
only she knew
of his conversion —
making his change
even more special.
Coupled together
to the earth
their offspring
scattered to the wind.
Soon the very elements
that nurtured
their beginning
will bring about
their ending.

Like a Desert Flower
Like a desert flower waiting for rain,
like a river-bank thirsting for the touch of pitchers,
like the dawn
longing for light;
and like a house,
like a house in ruins for want of a woman –
the exhausted ones of our times
need a moment to breathe,
need a moment to sleep,
in the arms of peace, in the arms of peace.

When I’m in New Orleans, I love to have chicory and coffee at Cafe Du Monde. But here in the Sonoran Desert, I love my chicory desert type — Desert Chicory. These beautiful desert flowers were captured along the Esperero Trail in Esperero Canyon on the 24th of February.

Show me a piece of land that God forgot—
a strip between an unused sidewalk, say,
and a bulldozed lot, rich in broken glass—
and there, July on, will be chicory,
its leggy hollow stems staggering skyward,
its leaves rough-hairy and lanceolate,
like pointed shoes too cheap for elves to wear,
its button-blooms the tenderest mauve-blue.
How good of it to risk the roadside fumes,
the oil-soaked heat reflected from asphalt,
and wretched earth dun-colored like cement,
too packed for any other seed to probe.
It sends a deep taproot (delicious, boiled),
is relished by all livestock, lends its leaves
to salads and cooked greens, but will not thrive
in cultivated soil: it must be free.
