home is where I am
home is not where I am
always in between
I am an island of consciousness
I have a cosmic consciousness
always in between
life is now
death is now
always in between
existence is being
existence is becoming
always in between
I am free
I am in prison
always in between
everything is implicit
everything is explicit
always in between
nature is an artifact
nature is art
always in between
nature must be trusted
nature must be mastered
always in between
humans are good
humans are bad
always in between
a sense of law
a sense of equity
always in between
there is a natural order
there is no order in nature
always in between
life has purpose
life is purposeless
always in between

I’m not a birder
but I can see
and hear
the birds around me.
I depend on
the knowledge
and discipline
of others
to identify
what I see and hear.
sometimes I identify
birds in my photographies
sometimes I’m wrong —
save a bird,
photograph them.

March 2015 Flowers In Our Desert Yard — Images by kenne (See on Flickr)
This blog frequently posts images of wildflowers in the Sonoran desert,
to the neglect of domestic flowers in our yard.
So, it’s their turn to be shared.
What’s not to love about flowers, domestic or wild?
Spring flowers abound
Opening in the sunlight
Keeping us spellbound.

“It’s very difficult to look at the World
and into your heart at the same time.
In between, a life has passed.”
