so many chances
in a day
to say something to you,
but here it is
growing late

this back road drive
past so many places
along the way
what is it in these hills
just beyond my reach

 

brook beside our house with Late afternoon sun sparkling .. parts of the creek are still frozen and the open water goes under ice in places but was running nicely this afternoon... 3-19-
clouds covered it but were just thin enough that you could look right at the disc of the sun which looked quite a bit like the moon...3-19-17

from Carlos Castanada

All paths
are the same,
leading nowhere.
Therefore, pick
a path with heart!

 

 

leaves frozen at the surface of a pond in the Cornell Botanic Garden... each one had absorbed the sun just enough to open a bit of space around itself... 1-22-17.
