To bring anything into your life, imagine that it’s already there.

*****

Same with anyone who’s been flying for years and loves it
still we’re part of a world we deeply love.
Just as musicians feel about scores and melodies,
dancers about the steps and flow of music,
so we’re one with the principle of flight,
the magic of being aloft in the wind! 

— Richard Bach

“Walking in Sallow Waters” — Computer Painting of a Western Sandpiper Along the Sea of Cortés Shoreline by kenne

Sandpiper

He flies only to scurry along another
reach of surf where he
pricks the cold for prey smaller
than grains of prose. The freedom
to guess right is his autobiography, and as oracle
of the about-to-happen he prefers
the edges of day, dawn and sunset, and rainy hours

that never climb to noon.
He does not weary—his errands do not cease,
and his flight is a diary snapped open,
snapped shut, taking in no sweep
of mountain. Master of the hidden, witness

to the nameless, feasting on careers even
more unheralded than his own,
he cocks his wings
and darts with haphazard courage,
his virtuoso pause obvious to everyone
and secret.

— Michael Cadnum

Seawater Ballard

The sea smiles
in the distance.
Teeth of  form,
lips of sky.

“What are you selling,
oh turbid girl,
with your breasts to the air?”

“I sell, sir, seawater.”

“What are you carrying,
oh black youth,
mixed with your blood?”

“I carry, sir, seawater.”

“Those salty tears:
where do they come from, mother?”

“I weep, sir, seawater.”

“My heart, and the grave
bitterness: where is it born?”

“How bitter, seawater!”

The sea smiles
in the distance.
Teeth of foam,
lips of sky.

— Federico García Lorca

Cardón Cactus In Shades of Blue   4 comments

“[…] it is a strange thing that most of the feeling we call religious, most of the mystical outcrying which is one of the most prized and used and desired reactions of our species, is really the understanding and the attempt to say that man is related to the whole thing, related inextricably to all reality, known and unknowable. This is a simple thing to say, but the profound feeling of it made a Jesus, a St. Augustine, a St. Francis, a Roger Bacon, a Charles Darwin, and an Einstein. Each of them in his own tempo and with his own voice discovered and reaffirmed with astonishment the knowledge that all things are one thing and that one thing is all things—plankton, a shimmering phosphorescence on the sea and the spinning planets and an expanding universe, all bound together by the elastic string of time. It is advisable to look from the tide pool to the stars and then back to the tide pool again.”

― John Steinbeck, The Log from the Sea of Cortez

Partying In Guaymas, Sonora   1 comment

Our overnight stay on the way to Alamos for the 32nd Festival Alfonso Ortiz Tirado Music Festival was at the Playa  de Cortes on the Sea of Cortes where we partied with our fellow travelers out of Tucson, Ronstadt Generations — Representing multi generations in North America, Ronstadt Generations continues the family’s musical traditions with Michael J. Ronstadt (younger brother of Linda) and his son Petie; a multi-instrumentalist and solid solo performers in his own right. They along with veteran musician, Alex Flores and present an exciting repertoire that preserves the traditional Southwestern and Mexican songs of their heritage with beautiful harmonies sung in English and Spanish. (I will be posting videos later.)

Sea Of Cortés Sand Dunes   1 comment

Sand Dunes
by Robert Frost

Sea waves are green and wet,
But up from where they die,
Rise others vaster yet,
And those are brown and dry.

They are the sea made land
To come at the fisher town,
And bury in solid sand
The men she could not drown.

She may know cove and cape,
But she does not know mankind
If by any change of shape,
She hopes to cut off mind.

Men left her a ship to sink:
They can leave her a hut as well;
And be but more free to think
For the one more cast-off shell.

Tired, she lands on beach chair,
surveying people nearby.

Secure, she settles down,
uninterested in the adjacent plate.

Old, she gathers strength,
the sun is setting.

Concerned, a nearby girl,
careful to not disturb.

Walking alone the sea’s edge

the morning sun rising,

the ebb tide moving out,

birds feasting on

fish stranded in tide pools

as waters rush from the

La Pinta estuary lagoon

at the top of

the Sea of Cortes.
