Sonoran Spring — Image by kenne
Most days I walk the rocky trails
with a camera hanging on my shoulder.
I stop, and again a little farther down
to gather a new perspective making use of
color and brightness everywhere I look.
With age, I have become a more casual hiker
allowing more time to ponder and train my eyes
to better capture the raw mystery and diversity
of plants and animals in the Sonoran spring,
where life is both fragile and strong.

Albert Einstein believed we suffer from an “optical delusion”
which separated us from the rest of creation. His solution?
“Widen our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures
and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

soft the sky
fills
and softly
spills
soft the drop
drips
gently down
and soft my foot
falls
soft the ground
and down the ground
fills
gently down
