Red Rock, Sedona
Below the cliffs,
an old tree lies—
roots exposed,
its body weathered gray
by seasons of wind and sun.
It seems less fallen
than resting,
a figure stretched beneath
the iron-red slope,
its limbs now gone.
And yet,
in the stillness,
the tree remains—
not defeated,
but folded back
into the silence
that bore it.

Sedona Red Rock Country — Painting by kenne
1.
red stone sings—
shadows stitched
to light.
2.
rust & bone,
rocks burning
without fire.
3.
the canyon
keeps color,
time stacked
in silence.

“Armchair complaints do not leave your living room,
so fight for justice, question, protest, criticize, write
and read letters, poetry, songs, speeches, sermons or legislation.
The arc of history tends toward justice, but you must bend it.”
— Christopher Fox Graham (Managing Editor of the Sedona Red Rock News)

Last week James, Jill, and Hugh visited us for six days from Houston. In addition to taking in sites around Tucson,
we went north to Sedona, Flagstaff, and The Grand Canyon. Here are a few images from the Sedona area.

Cathedral Rock Trail, Sedona, Arizona — Images by kenne
“This is a short 0.7 mile but strenuous trail which quickly rises 608 feet in elevation. The midsection of the trail
has a near vertical segment which requires climbing. The trail is well marked and many hikers can be found
using the trail. The trail traverses the east side of the mountain and thus the hike is better taken in the
afternoon so one is hiking in the shade. On the top, there is a narrow plateau with steep slopes on each side.
The width is about that of a wide sidewalk and several stones are perfect for sitting. One can enjoy the view if
not afraid of the heights.” Source: Sedona Hiking Trails

Sedona Area Panorama (Red Rock Country) — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Our continual mistake is that we do not
concentrate upon the present day, the
actual hour, of our life: we live in the past
or in the future; we are continually expecting
the coming of some special moment when
our life will unfold itself in its full significance.
And we do not notice that life is flowing life
water through our fingers.
— Father Alexander Elchaninov

Three Image Merge (Sedona, Arizona) — Panorama by kenne
Deserts Come and Deserts Go
Is it a desert, only time will tell,
a landscape between heaven and hell.
Every ten thousand years or so,
the ice will come, the ice then will go.
In one place the ocean throws water across the land,
another place flowers beyond numbers to count grow.
In time, only a desert will tell,
the span between heaven and hell.

Cathedral Rock in the Santa Catalina Mountains
Cathedral Rock in the Sedona Verde Valley
In a Magritte sky
clouds formed
from the smoke
of a stemmed pipe
one sunkissed on
Catalina peaks
the other an
Upflow Vortex
each a cathedral rock
named in history
remaining covered
invoking mystery
concealing nothing.

“We are surrounded by curtains.
We only perceive the world
behind a curtain of semblance.
At the same time,
an object needs to be covered
in order to be recognized at all.”
– René Magritte

Two Nuns Red Rock Formation at The Chapel of The Holy Cross, Sedona, Arizona (June 14, 2016) — Image by kenne
Two Red Rock Nuns
Looking at the two red rock pillars
with shades of red forming lines
shaded by the late afternoon sun.
The hump-backed moon rises
over the nuns distorted faces —
smeared red lips not desiring.
Centuries of decay at their feet
delivered by tears of benevolence
a token of good will everlasting.
A sky so blue, not to be bought
by any painter at any human price —
isn’t that, after all, left to the gods.
