Hiker On The Phoneline Trail (December in Sabino Canyon) — Image by kenne
There’s no remaking reality…
Just take it as it comes.
Hold your ground and
take it as it comes.
There’s no other way.

A Morning Hike In The Park Leave a comment
A Morning Hike In Saguaro National Park Hike-East (01/03/20)– Image by kenne
On the trail a morning haze
Slowly disappears as the sun
Lifts over the mountains
Across rocks and cactus
Leaving behind still air
Warmed as the sun
Moves desert shadows
Plants shinning with dew
A picture I try to capture
Lost in the passing moment
Hiking the desert trails
Looking down the miles
Collecting memories
To be lost with time
But not in mind.

Pondering the Hiking Moments On The Trail Leave a comment
Pondering the Hiking Moments On the Trail — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Pondering the Hiking Moments
Let’s remember for a moment . . .
The trailhead gatherings,
the greetings, the smiles,
the joy of another hike.
The steep climbs, the switchbacks,
the majestic views at the top,
the masterful returns.
The trail fellowship,
sharing who we are
and common interests.
The pools near mountain trails,
resting tired feet in the cold water,
while others jump in.
The hikes along ridges of granite
and the juxtapositions of water-loving
and drought-tolerating plants.
The images captured on camera,
or our mind’s eye,
lasting images to share.
That which we have added
to life’s experiences forming
a better understanding of self.
The desire, the drive to see
what lies just over the next ridge,
on the other side of the mountain.
To our Sabino Canyon friends,
“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome,
dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.” *

Some critic tried to put me down —
“Your poems lack the Basic Truth of Tao”
And I recall the old-times
Who were poor and didn’t care.
I have to laugh at him,
He misses the point entirely,
Men like that
Ought to stick to making money.
