Sedona Sunrise Panorama From Airport Rock   4 comments

Sedona Panorama_blogSedona Sunrise Panorama (June 15, 2016) — iPhone image by kenne

This panorama was taken atop airport rock, one of four main vortexes located in Sedona. It’s just a short walk up from the road leading to the airport.

On this particular morning, I was there at 5:30am MST. Although I captured several images with my Nikon cameras, this is a panorama taken with my iPhone 6. The energy I was able to take in yesterday morning is still with me.

I spent about an hour on the rock. The man standing panorama right was there when I arrived and still standing when I left. You don’t have to be at one of the four main vortexes to feel the energy found in the Sedona community. Still, many people visiting Sedona are not able to ride the vortex path — some are energy receptacles, some are not.

Despairing of God, I came to the desert seeking saints.
The tongue of the tribe sleeping in my family
whispers spiny songs: chumpaco / place where they killed
the dogs: huirives / bird: bacochibampo / the water of the
serpents: bajeribampo / water of the lizards: cuirimpo /
the place of the drummers.

Notes On A Sedona Morning

After mornings of hiking,
sitting on the big rock summit–
sun in my face, I find myself
drinking coffee on the
Wildflower Bread Company patio
surrounded by red rock towers,
ants at my feet and
young women taking selfies.

I like solitude, but
sometimes 
it’s nice
to be alone in the
middle 
of humanity —
a prisoner of my condition.
Sorry, no pictures of food.
My cup of coffee
not worth posting.

Maybe the plus-size women
eating big puffy bread
potato-egg sandwiches
wouldn’t mind if I take a picture of
their breakfast, but
I’m not going to ask –
something tells me
they weren’t up at 5:00am hiking.

The conversation turned to
what to eat for lunch . . .

Capturing The Moment — Yellow Dawn   4 comments

Morning Walk- yellow sky art blogYellow Dawn — Image by kenne

Dawn holds back

the day’s secrets,

divulging

as the sun leaves

the earth’s edge

and shadows

offer unknown angles —

as if to open doors

we enter

leaving behind the mystery

of the yellow dawn.

Let It Shine   Leave a comment

Let It Shine

Morning awakens the light

Slowly stirring the heart

Revived from the sleeping night

By a singing meadowlark.

 

Accounting for the moment

Can we ever know

How age built a monument

From what it doesn’t show?

I don’t mind

As long as you know

I will make it shine

By allowing time to slow.

“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.”

Capturing The Moment — Unsheltered Lies The Desert In Solitary Hours   5 comments

Romero Pools“Unsheltered Lies The Desert In Solitary Hours” — Image by kenne

I speak of Desert without repose
Carved by relentless winds
Torn up from its bowels
Blinded by sands
Unsheltered solitary
Yellow as death
Wrinkled like parchment
Face turned to the sun.

Capturing The Moment — Sunsets Hanging On Yesterday’s Walls   1 comment

SUNSETS, SUNRISES

You marvel at the sunrise

as the cock crows,

I will marvel at the sunset

as the great horn owl calls.

You can take one,

I will take the other.

Inspired by the “and”

not the “or”–

the beauty of each

framed in the eyes

of the beholder.

Each a snapshot

captured in time,

hanging on yesterday’s walls —

a measure of life’s splendor,

harnessing tomorrow’s inspiration.

Clouds come floating into my life,

no longer to carry rain or usher storm,

but to add color to my sunset sky.
