Sunset, Strait of Georgia, Gibsons, British Columbia, Canada

Nary a Care

A rocky beach
A cloud strewn sky
A becalmed sea
And the last
Glimmering
Rays
Of a sun
Leaving the day

And I
Reflecting
Alone
In my thoughts
With nary
A care
But for the beauty
Of it all

On the road to Hami, from Liuyuan, Gansu -- Xinjiang, The Peoples Republic of China

Somewhere on the Way Through Nowhere

These roads through nowhere
Always find somewhere
Along the way

Because somewhere
Is always a state of mind

And my mind is always somewhere

Kunjapuri Devi Temple, Himalaya foothills, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India

Morning Clarity

Sun rising
Behind mountain peaks
I dream myself
Waking into dawn
Into light

Light comes
Driving air
Down the valley
Clearing atmosphere
Of smoke and mist

Ohm, I sing
Into heart
Into center
Into spirit

Geometry, Morrocan-inspired Lattice Screen Wall and Light

Geometry ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #67

With arc and sphere
With line and square
I fix the world
In sight and mind
The world I build
Becomes this kind

While Nature’s skilled
Geometry
Is rarely square
Organically
Math more complex
So beautifully

Lichen on Granite, Hope Slide, Nicolum Valley, Cascade Mountains, British Columbia, Canada

Blood

Blood courses through me
Red life

More than grey matter
More than thoughts
More than being
More than all the love
I have ever given

In the final moments
I stop
When blood stops

I am
Blood

The Nirvan of Shakyamuni Buddha, Giant Buddha Temple, Zhangye, Gansu Province, China

Healing ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #58

0n my life’s journey
Science and logic and reason
Taught me all the many ways
I was wounded and broken

But it was not until
I met the Buddha on the road
That I began to heal

Idyllic Mountain Lake, White Lake Grasslands, Okanagan Falls, British Columbia, Canada

Idling in Idyll

Idling in idyll
A picture of
The picturesque
Peace comes easy
In this peaceful place
Where I sit for a while
In my thoughtless thoughts
Then move along, go pedalling
Climb up, glide down
Pedal’s cadence
The only rhyme
I need
To soothe
My mind

Light and Shadow, The Magicians, Season 2, Fraserwood Studio, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

Creation ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #56

I love the things
Our human hands
And nature make

With light and mass
We shape the world
For beauty’s sake

I love the way
Mind renders lines
To pleasure me

Misty Rays, Fraserwond Studio, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

Clarity

Clarity comes
When I breathe deeply
So the light comes in
When I quiet my mind
So the mist comes clear

Graffiti, Urban Alley, Downtown Eastside, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Cyclone

Tossed by the storm
While the cyclone raged
Inside my heart
Inside my mind
Circling ’round
The centre

My spirit
My soul
The eye
Of my
Being
