I love the tension captured in this photo of partially camouflaged Nubian Ibex. This “wait a moment!” stare-at-the-camera image was taken in the fraction between the two does realizing the human’s proximity and them springing away.

Hold up those who are too small
So they, too, can have a view
And visibility.
Hoist up those who are too timid
Or are silenced
So they, too, can have a voice
And secure platform.
Elevate the discourse
On behalf of those
Who had forgotten
Or had become accustomed
To degraded declarations,
And so can use a gentle template
How.
Offer a hand to those most in need
Of a perspective
So they may see
Broader horizons
For understanding
Not just might
But heart and mind.

Any space
Will do
If you take time
To teach
Yourself
Your doll
Or anyone
Who will sit
Long enough
To listen …
But mostly
Yourself
Again,
Because what you
Choose
To replicate
Is what you teach
Today,
And what
Becomes
Your tomorrow.

There’s magic
At the end of day
As sunset preludes
Silvery gold
Upon the beach.
As children
Call
In play
And light glints
Priceless moments
Within reach.

Our lives are partially the story of others, interwoven into our own. In the good and the bad and the things that time may shift to someplace in between. We are who we let our story make us into. Like the seasons that spin about us, we recycle some bits of our story and reuse other aspects to rebuild or grow from. Through it all, our lives crease along the odd and unexpected, yet are fed by the mundanely profound interactions that form the backdrop to the breaths we take, each day, each moment, as we continue on.

As tensions hold
The edge
Between manageable
And overwhelmed,
Between spared
And flooded,
Be tender.
As scales tip
To potentiate
Disaster
And fluctuate
From safe
To calamitous,
Be kind.
Remember how
Critical times
Hold within them
The balance
Of rebuilding
On the fabric of
Strength
And profound
Understanding.
