water as the light describes
unimagined forms

water falls freezing
on contact with buds wishing
the warmth would arrive

snow and ice transformed
into liquid nourishment
for thirsting earth and us

ice begins to melt
bitter becomes just chilly
shifting consciousness

Porch cave meditation
the beautiful way:
weather and time returning
the cedar to earth
(click photograph for larger view)
A seed in the earth grows into a cedar tree which men harvest and fabricate into lumber. I fashion the boards into my porch; which serves me for 25 years; only to be reclaimed by the atmosphere; due, in part, to my own design flaws. Though the process will reclaim all no matter how perfect the design.

Wispy Wednesday
forgotten places
and things lost by someone else
then found along their pathway
remembering still — life
