Lao Tzu’s words can be pretty difficult to wrap a Western, science-educated mind around (my own struggle is continuous), beginning with understanding the term “the Tao” itself.

Britannia Mine
In the day
This hulking grey
With windows dark
And broken glass
At night transforms
Bathed in warmth
A dinosaur preserve
In translucent amber
Winter Crescent
Crisp and calm
I shiver at the camera’s side
Ever so gently, I try
Release the shutter
I shiver at the camera’s side
Ever so gently, I try
Release the shutter
But there it is
The little jiggle
In the capturing moment
Where the house light doubles
Only I will notice, too
The crescent moved
As did the evening star
And the clouds
Oh Canada
I came
For big mountains
And the deep deep snow
For big mountains
And the deep deep snow
I stayed
For the kindness
And the deep deep grow
The Melody of Philosophy
Music created
The world I live in
A strange place
Of every possibility
The world I live in
A strange place
Of every possibility
Progressive
Political
Psychedelic
Spiritual
Fractures and Facets
I see the world
Through multiple frames
Fractured and faceted
Broken and breaking
Through multiple frames
Fractured and faceted
Broken and breaking
Or is the world
Just as it is
And all the fractures and facets
All the breakage and breaking
Just me?
New Day Rising
As the light rises
With the dawn of a new day
I wrap my being around the positive
To begin again the exploration
Of possibility
With the dawn of a new day
I wrap my being around the positive
To begin again the exploration
Of possibility
Islands ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #66
I make an Island of myself
Against every prohibition
Bask in the sun
On isolated shores
Against every prohibition
Bask in the sun
On isolated shores
Until the gloom rolls in
And I see the distant lights
Across the unbridged gap
Understanding at last
The vulnerability
Of this small Islet of Me
Amiss in a vast
And lonely sea
Obscured Crescent
In the settling darkness
I seek something to photograph
Anything to set words on a course
I seek something to photograph
Anything to set words on a course
Out of inspiration
Time and photographs exhausted
Post due on the morrow
At a favourite pull-out
Setting up sticks and cam
While the light fails
Utterly
One of these things…
Sometimes
The one thing that doesn’t belong
Somehow
Makes the whole thing better
The one thing that doesn’t belong
Somehow
Makes the whole thing better
