I remind myself
A photograph is neither
A moment nor a place
Taking a photograph is neither
In the moment, nor the place
So I put down the camera
Take one breath
Then another
In the moment, and the place
I remind myself
A photograph is neither
A moment nor a place
Taking a photograph is neither
In the moment, nor the place
So I put down the camera
Take one breath
Then another
In the moment, and the place
The beauty I imbue
On moments and places
Of small consequence
Arises from my appreciation
For the beauty in all things
Physical
Geographical
Emotional
Intellectual
Personal
Romantic
And every time
Find something new
Some original way to see
Some valuable insight
Betwixt and between
Whistler and Blackcomb
And miles of untracked snow
I have already climbed further
Than I had ever imagined
Should we grow too cocky
Nature, she will smile
With graceful power and beauty
Such exquisite beauty
