Boat On A Mountain Lake   5 comments

Boat On a Mountain Lake — Photo-artistry by kenne

Beached Boat On Calm Lake

A small boat, half on land, half in dream—
the bow kissing mud, stern still drifting
in a lake so still it remembers everything.

The forest leans in, studying itself,
pines doubled in the water,
each trunk a question about what’s real.

No wind, no engine, no men with plans—
just the slow breath of morning
and the smell of wet cedar and rust.

This is how the world looks
when it forgets we’re watching—
balanced between use and surrender.

No man has the right to dictate
what other men should perceive,
create or produce,
but all should be encouraged
to reveal themselves,
their perceptions and emotions,
and to build confidence in the creative spirit.

Chasing Life’s Horizons

Ain’t nothing better

than hiking through

a window in the sky —

the air is fresh,

the sky is blue,

a magical mystery

in a world of horizons

far as the eye can see.

Chased by every hiker,

a vision soon

left behind

only to be replaced

by another

magical mystery.

“Today I am richer than I ever dreamed possible,
and it is not through my effort or achievement,
and it is not measured in wealth or possessions,
but it has come through my awakening to what has
always been true and waiting for me to discover.”

Stopping for Lunch Along the Trail — Mammoth Lakes Revisited   Leave a comment

Photo: Ken & Joy at Rainbow Falls. (To see additional photos, click here.  )

This posting first appeared, August, 2006.

So much to see, so little time in the eastern Sierra Nevada.  Before leaving the Mammoth Lakes area, Rosalie and Jerry were kind enough to hike with us to the Devils Postpile and Rainbow Falls.  There are many beautiful sights to see from the trail, many of which were first seen from the many Ansel Adams photos taken here.   We stopped for a trail lunch at the base of the falls.
