WHAT?   Leave a comment

Barefoot Photographer Near Sabino Creek (October 13, 2010) 

WHAT?

A hiking break
Socks and boots off
Feet in the stream
What?

Camera in hand
Capturing the moment
Kids jumping in the water
What?

A place in nature
People love to visit
Sharing the experience
What?

Barefoot kids running
Mothers watching 
With the back of their eyes
What?

Spring’s last whispers
In summer’s tongue
Talking to the kids
What?

A pond in a stream
Recognizes flamboyance
In 1000 little mirrors
What?

Don’t give up on nature
Forever and never
Every whim of my will
What?

Sounds of running water
Have spiritual overtones
Calming my mind
What?

Habitation

 

Marriage is not
a house or even a tent

it is before that, and colder:

the edge of the forest, the edge
of the desert 
                    the unpainted stairs 
at the back where we squat 
outside, eating popcorn

the edge of the receding glacier

where painfully and with wonder
at having survived even
this far

we are learning to make fire 

— Margaret Atwood

In Search Of Nothingness — “What?”   1 comment

Self-Portrait 

The more I learn about myself
the less I know about others.

I feel good about who I am,
questioning the good of others.

I may understand my behavior,
wondering about that of others.

This may change with a renewal
of dialogue among humans.

I accept who I have become,
I accept the responsibility for me.

I accept my humanness, but
not the organization of society.

To live in the actual world,
we develop an ability to cope.

By coping, I first came to know,
before I came to know-nothingness,

thus having an opposite for interaction,
allowing me to continue to search

sometimes not putting forth enough effort,
causing anxiety, guilt, and despair.

I am able to know by being in the moment,
I am able to know-nothingness by becoming.

The more I am able to know-nothingness
the more I am able to achieve enlightenment

by living life according to my possibilities
as I am able to actualize them.

In the beginning was the relationship.
