Wildflowers Next To A Log — Photo-artistry by kenne

Throughout the year, there never is
A change like that in Fall
The strength, the vital strokes of life
Make every man stand tall

Fall’s mellow freshness fills our days
And boosts a heart anew
Instead of spring when love blooms forth
It’s Autumn, through and through.

— from Autumn by John Boynton

Footnote: Autumn is in a book of poems, Love is Radiant,  Joy gave me in 1987.

Not Till We Are Lost   2 comments

Carins Marking the Trail To Cardiac Gap — Image by kenne

Not till we are lost, in other words, not till we have lost the world,
do we begin to find ourselves and realize where we are
and the infinite extent of our relations.

Is this a lost shirt or an extreme act of kindness?

Fall Colors On Bear Wallow Trail On Mt. Lemmon — HDR Image by kenne

We live in the
Sonoran desert
Surrounded by
Sky islands.

After a short drive,
We can experience
Traditional fall colors
On Mt. Lemmon.

What Path Will You Take?   1 comment

What Path Will You Take? (Sabino Canyon) — Photo-Artistry by kenne

What path will you take?
I wonder.
Was it over yonder?
Maybe,
Just maybe it was over there.
Who knows? You wander —
Here, there, everywhere.

Hiking Blackett’s Ridge — Image by kenne

We were hiking on Blackett’s Ridge

When the view called me over

For a moment of meditation —

The existence of a beautiful view

Is to take time to stop.

The Humble Back Of The Mountain   Leave a comment

Aspen Trail on Mt. Lemmon — Image by kenne

Sun warms the lizard’s back
and the humble back of the mountain.
A raven croaks from the top of a thermal.
The valley oak above the barn,
dying a huge branch at a time,
stands in calm mortability, content
with the warm light that has fed its leaves,
the dark waters that have fed its roots,
its acorns that have fed the woodpeckers
for five hundred rainy seasons.

— Ursula K. Le Guin
