“One day I’m going to write a book about osprey .
It has really gotten deep into my bloodstream.
So when you ask what else I do,
I feel like this is part of what I do …
is to watch these birds.”
— Alan Lightman
Seagull Over Puerto Peñasco, Mexico — Image by kenne
Oh, the wild seagull, the bold seagull,
As he screams in his wheeling flight;
As he sits on the waves in storm or calm,
All cometh to him aright.
All cometh to him as he liketh best,
Nor any his will gainsay;
And he rides on the waves like a bold, young king,
That was crowned but yesterday!
— from The Sea-Gull by Lloyd Mifflin

Puerto Peñasco Sunrise — Image by kenne
In an October 10th entry, I posted a photo-artistry piece of this image. I thought I would share the original image taken during an early morning walk along the beach near the El Pinacate Biosphere Reserve in Sonora, Mexico five years ago.

Walking takes longer… than any other known form of locomotion except crawling.
Thus it stretches time and prolongs life. Life is already too short to waste on speed.
— Edward Weston
Puerto Peñasco Sunset — Photo-artistry by kenne
If you sit down at set of sun
And count the acts that you have done,
And, counting, find
One self-denying deed, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard,
One glance most kind
That fell like sunshine where it went —
Then you may count that day well spent.
But if, through all the livelong day,
You’ve cheered no heart, by yea or nay —
If, through it all
You’ve nothing done that you can trace
That brought the sunshine to one face–
No act most small
That helped some soul and nothing cost —
Then count that day as worse than lost.
— George Eliot

The Human Touch
‘Tis the human touch
in this world that counts,
The touch of your hand and mine,
Which means far more
to the fainting heart
Than shelter and bread and wine.
For shelter is gone
when the night is o’er,
And bread lasts only a day.
But the touch of the hand
And the sound of the voice
Sing on in the soul always.

What is the Point?
The Point Is . . .
Knowing when to say no,
especially the “hard” no.
Not a point in time,
which has no beginning and no end.
E.T.’s finger and
Obi-Wan Kenobi’s beam of light.
The place we reach
each time we act, the point of no return.
Not the end,
nor is it the beginning.
What we don’t get
when we are told to use common sense.
A place we go
when we decide we are there.
Where we are
when we decide to give up.
Something that we starch
when we don’t get the point.
A corrective statement
used to express your view of truth.
Blank when we act without hesitation,
to destroy the point.
A teacher’s finger,
used to drive home the point.
A moment in time,
if there is a beginning and an end.
Poetic license when deviating
from the norm to make your point.
Where you are when you are exhausted,
or when you decide to give up.
What you want to improve,
writing is your weak point.
What you gain or lose
when being judged.
What you pay when closing a deal,
causing the buyer to feel taken.
Measurement of quality,
the more points, the more expensive.
The circles’ people go in
to make the point
A work of art in Seurat’s dots
and digital photography’s pixels.
What is missing in Gehry’s titanium-wrapped
curves of the Guggenheim Bilbao.
What you don’t want to reach when driving
your motorcycle through the Texas hill country.
The one-finger salute to the sky
sharing the joy of victory.
What the rude nitwit doesn’t get
When making a cell phone call in the theater.
The top of a cap symbolizes the
Opposite characteristic of a point.
It is a bright, usually moveable blinking indicator
on a display in which you can find the spot.
Waiting for the pot to reach the boiling point,
“Only pots know the boiling points of their broths.”
Is what we follow in the stock market,
“Currently, the market is up fifty points.”
