Turned Around — Image by kenne
Turned around,
Here am I.
Knowing how,
Not the why.
Young in heart
Old in age.
Feeling the itch,
Pacing the cage.
Inner peace,
Knowing the thou.
Learning to write
Thesis of now.
Turned around,
Found love.
Living the moment,
Free as a dove.
Still learning,
When to talk.
Listening for,
Beat of the walk.
Reality is now,
Truth in the heart.
Singing the knowledge,
Requiem to smart.
Turned around,
Found beauty in art.
Traveling the future,
With Dylan and Descartes

Climate change coupled with a pandemic
has made life more precious
opening the door to more pursuits
always looking, listening, and learning
creating new encounters with living —
“art is the residue from
the encounter with living.”

You tasted it.
Isn’t that enough?
Of what do you ever
get more than a taste?
That’s all we’re given in life,
that’s all we’re given of life.
A taste.
There is no more.
— Philip Roth

“Nothing is important but Life. … things given full play,
or at least, they may be given full play,
when we realize that life itself,
and not inert safety, is the reason for living.”

A student holds a Two-tailed Swallowtail just after coming out of its cocoon.
Just outside the Sabino Canyon Visitors Center, A Junior Naturalist (7th grader) showed a Two-tailed Swallowtail with wings still curved, just having emerged from her cocoon. This image represents the last stage of a caterpillar morphing into a butterfly, which began with a very hungry caterpillar hatching from an egg. The caterpillar will spend this phase of its life stuffing itself with leaves, growing plumper and longer through a series of molts in which it sheds its skin. Then, one day the caterpillar stops eating, suspends itself upside down from a twig or leaf and spins itself a silky cocoon where the caterpillar digests itself, eventually emerging as a butterfly. Cool!!

Life Beyond Stop 9
Twisting trails to Hutch’s Pool
Switchbacks from Stop 9
Reaching the canyon wall trail
Down to East and West Forks —
Creek waters are high, some
Hikers are turning back to Stop 9.
I lead others up to where the falls
Form a mountain swimming pool.
Block by a lower ridge
Mt. Lemmon is due north
Bringing water over large boulders
Slippery and dangerous to climb.
Now, noon, I set by the pool
Encouraging others to rest
Sharing the spirit of downstream
on the southern slope of Mt. Lemmon.

Estate Sale In Tanuri Ridge — Image by kenne
This morning’s jog in the neighborhood was different,
actually dangerous because of all the cars drove by
the estate sale vultures wanting to be first in line.
Disclaimer: I don’t go to flea-markets, antique shops,
garage sales or estate sales, if I can help it, so I jogged
on by as people stood in line before the opening time.
Circling on around, I caught up with Joy who,
out of curiosity had stopped by the sale now depressed
by the image of someone’s life now with a price-tag.
She got my attention when she said the sale
included a lot of cameras and equipment,
so against my better judgment, I went in.
There laid out on display as if it were a camera
funeral home, the photography life of someone
whose emotional being was now a part of me.
At the moment, I decided to not let my photography life
be on display for those seeking a bargain on something
that would never again have the value it has for me.

“Yellow Flower in Circles and Squares” — Image by kenne
Sometimes to appreciate beauty
it must be taken out of context
to capture a new perspective
based on my love of nature, sex
and life in a new consciousness
for the flower is neither
a subject nor an object
apart from being a flower.

camera pointed
a squirrel staring at me
I stare back at him
what is he doing up there
what I'm I doing down here

To Make Soft . . .
Words are nothing,
feelings are everything.
Struggling to share feelings
placing petitions of desire
at the door of your heart,
shut not the door.
Love will break your heart,
scorn not what we do.
Looking for peace of mind
the truth will set us free
explaining not what is real,
too complicated to follow
knowing not our time to go
lifetime is no time at all.
