So many life stages
Still, we group only a few
Let me count the ways.

The Wild Flower’s Song
As I wandered the forest,
The green leaves among,
I heard a Wild Flower
Singing a song.
‘I slept in the earth
In the silent night,
I murmured my fears
And I felt delight.
‘In the morning I went
As rosy as morn,
To seek for new joy;
But oh! met with scorn.’
— William Blake

“If public lands come under greater pressure to be opened for exploitation and use in the twenty-first century, it will be the local people, the watershed people, who will prove to be the last and possibly most effective line of defense.” — Gary Snyder

BRAIN DROPPINGS GROWING INTO THOUGHTS
Seeds waiting for gentle rain
Wildflowers rising out of time
Looking for the god of rain, Tlaloc
Hiking on a rainy afternoon
Trails temporarily becoming streams
Ferns moving in joyful motion
Standing still in the breeze
A poem with silent words
Being in rhythm with nature
Moving on toward oblivion
Eyes looking out of the darkness
Things of the spirit left behind
Words strange to my lips
Kika and the tree lizards
Happiness is a tiny white flower
Writing memories on the trails of time
Taking the ordinary to a new level
Looking for a poem outside the words
Living in knowledge without knowing
Scoring love by the number of sunsets shared

Silverpuff Blossom and Seeds — Image by kenne
When picturing a wildflower
I see the blossom
not the seeds.
Picture a dandelion
a pretty yellow wildflower
not named after its
annoying seeds.
Picture a silverpuff
a pretty yellow wildflower
with toothed rays
radiating star-like points
only to be named after its
beautiful seeds —
a secondhand blossom.

Life is a series of steps,
you climb each one to succeed.
