I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?

Lonely
We are increasingly interacting with our phones rather than one another, whether with people walking by or the people we’re with. The screen also often holds our eye more than where we are, even when beside something as dynamic as the SF Bay and Golden Gate Bridge.
Eric Pickersgill, in his “Removed” photo series, edited out smartphones to reveal how lonely our world has become.
Friendship
In the Sea
for whatever we lose
(like a you or a me)
it’s always our self
we find in the sea.
Sacred Trust
Children accept the world presented and we adults are responsible for changing what is presented.
Steve McCurry is my favorite photographer due to his stunning photographs and series as well as his focus on the beauty and inequity in this world. This one is from his “Children” series.
Look
Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
Sound
Poetry doesn’t exist to give you prose. It’s this other thing. It is something that has to do with the sound of words, the sound of letters, the spaces between words, letters, how words connect to the mind and to the throat at the same time.
Chihuly Glass
Dale Chihuly‘s glass art is extraordinary: imaginative, kinetic, vibrant and dynamic. Enjoy!
Courage
The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next.
(I don’t know what caused that bird-god-Mayan-like shadow as I swam in an otherwise empty pool. I only know I gasped when I saw the photo as if it was Mystery’s reflection, as if it was Divine revelation guiding me if only I could decipher the language.)
Defenders
The idea of wilderness needs no defense, it only needs defenders.
