“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”
— Dorothea Lange
A sharing of space
Where there is no space at all
Sunlight and shadow
Multiplicity
Is a singleton pattern
Filtered through our mind
Summer performance (Not one and not two)
Dragonflies and mosquitos
Dance in the twilight
Rhythms heard and felt
Quiet as loud as thunder
Night sound in summer
A clean burning stove
Heats the morning air
No resistance
A clean burning stove
The mountains and the valley
No separation (Inseparable)
The moon shines upon
Us with the light of the sun
As only it can
Through the field of snow
A mouse scampers and leaves tracks
For us to follow
A coyote cries
And the symphony begins
More sounds of winter
Frozen water hangs
From the edge of the boulder
A well earned rest
The ski binding creaks
With the snow under the ski
A sound of winter
Snow falls on the road
Only to be pushed away
Again and again
Leaves hang from the tree
Colors vibrant in the fall
Ready to move on
Leaves fall from the tree
Transforming before my eyes
Into next year’s soil
“If you wish to create an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the whole universe.”
— Carl Sagan
Sunlight on the tree
Or is it the other way?
Sharing space again
Water on the trail
The trail under the water
Together as one
Wind through the tree tops
Ruffle the leaves of each birch
Summer excitement
Shadows of a fern
Arranged on the forest floor
And on the stone too
The last light of day
Fades as the hen finds her roost
Natural cycles
The world spins and spins
And will continue to spin
With or without us
Drizzle from the sky
Covering the river beds
The snow is melting (I melt with the snow)
The sun warms my face
While the wind cools my body
Cooperation
Life flows with this stream
As the snow makes its return
After a short nap
Let go of everything
Truly, let it go
It was never yours
Sounds of contentment
While you lie on the table
My hands on your back
Another snowfall
But did the first ever stop?
No separation
A numbness creeps in
Setting up the next few days
For a clear battle
A cup of ice cream
Sweetness capping off the day
An inch of new snow (New snow on the way)
