Four Peaks, Tonto National Forest, Near Mesa, Arizona, United States of America

Rise

I see the beauty
It’s not so very far
And a road which leads
From shadow to the light
From the broken lands
To where snow-capped pinnacles

Rise

Though I see
Not so very far ahead
I take the road
Into the valley maze
And trust myself
To find the way

Winter Rangeland, Highway 87, Somewhere between WInslow and Phoenix, Arizona, United States of America

Move along

It’s time to set
The wheels in motion
Time to move along
Not so much
To just be rolling
Much more to have
Intent

No need for
Destination
No need
To have a plan
Not yet

But scan
Horizons
For potential
For places I’d like
To get

Words Escape Me

Words
Sometimes
Escape me

Overwhelmed
As they are
By the inexplicable

So I settle in
Allow the divine
To speak for itself

Creation

No matter how many times
I look at a moment
Or a thing
I find something new

No matter how many times
I look into myself
Listen to my spirit
I find someone new

I remind myself
These are all
Acts of creation
Rather than discovery

Brown's Peak Sunset, onto National Forest, From Apache Gap, Near Phoenix, Arizona, United States of America

Be Still

I find myself in moments
When even my hyper-active mind
Knows to be still
And listen

Let nature speak

From Grim to Glimmer

Finally!
The grey grim relents
On the first day
Of a new year

The last act
Of a once reticent sun
This vibrant glimmer
This display of possibility

As a photographer
I have never been satisfied with

Two dimensions
A single moment in time
Or even reality

I prefer
To create
Rather than
Record

Light is my palette
A digital file my canvas
A computer my brush

And all the world
Is beautiful data

To be transformed into art
