I cross the valley floor
Under the gaze of giants
The land’s sentinels for time
Long forgotten
Under the gaze of giants
The land’s sentinels for time

Discovering the Unexpected
I love discovering the unexpected
Love finding my way into a newness
I had never imagined before
Love finding my way into a newness
I had never imagined before
I love it so much
I tend to find it
Where others see only the everyday
Only the expected
Moral Victories
Moral victories
Ring hollow
In every context
But imagination
Ring hollow
In every context
But imagination
Visiting an ant’s world
I step up to the rim
Take out the camera
And begin to snap
Feverishly
In the failing sunlight
Take out the camera
And begin to snap
Feverishly
In the failing sunlight
When it’s no longer possible
To get an image
With a hand-held camera
I sit down
And bask in the immensity
The smoke of a distant fire
The smoke of a distant forest
Set alight by a careless ember
Saturates the atmosphere
Makes it heavy
Burdensome
Diminishing the scale
Of Nature’s triumph
Set alight by a careless ember
Saturates the atmosphere
Makes it heavy
Burdensome
Diminishing the scale
Of Nature’s triumph

On the other side
The great beyond
Beckons with
Adventure’s promise
The great beyond
Beckons with
Adventure’s promise
Watching over underdogs
I watch over
The underdogs
And lost causes
The underdogs
And lost causes
I assure
Their voices
Are heard
I speak for them
When they cannot
Speak for themselves
The Ziggurat
We approached the ziggurat
Towing over thirty feet of living space
Exiting
The Valley of the Gods
Switchbacks, gravel and steep grades
More than a thousand feet straight up
I wondered
At the wisdom of this drive
Then the thought
Each adventure ever had
Begins with
Just a little bit of faith
Choices
I sit upon this Earth
And revel in her choices
The miracles
That Nature makes
And revel in her choices
The miracles
That Nature makes
No strokes go wrong
She’s always right
And so I learn
What beauty is
