Middle of nowhere to the right
A cabin’s leveraged on a cliff.
Amenities are extra-sparse.
The mountains, extra stiff.
A modest perch amidst snow caps
To rest
And watch clouds drift.

Beaches with sprawling, gentle surf are among my favorite things in the world. Long, shallow waves that coat expanses of sand evoke an instant relaxation response in me, and this glowing photo taken in Australia is no exception. The light on the water deepens the magic and transports me to time before time and this very moment in time, where the steady breath of the ocean pulses the very heartbeat of Earth and moon and sun.

Do not be fooled to think
That clouds combed
Into neat white lines
Mean that the artful skies
Have suddenly
Turned tame.

As the surface of the water
Licks the surface of the sky
The depths of both
Stay hidden
Under aquamarine alibis.

There’s a brilliance
To the cosmos
That shines brighter than
All stars.
An artistry
To nature’s glory
That far exceeds anything
I can actually
Understand.

In the mighty desert
Old times loom.
Layers of crushed history
Pressed by ancient rain
By ash and mud
Bones and sand.
Carved craters
Cleaved by flaming travelers
Hurling from
Beyond the sun.
Pressed down eras
Sandwiched by eternity
And painted
In primordial
Deposits:
Iron
Copper
Lime.

The Canadian Rockies (Photo: Ronit Koren)
In the magnificence of mountains
Hewed from sky
Calved by glaciers
Raised by heaving earth
Aged by wind
Shorn by storms,
Awe is
Born.

In the constant feed of drama
And five-minute-news of all-that’s-wrong
And all that must be done
And all that cannot yet
Or won’t be,
Seek a spot of shade
And a penchant for deep breathing.
Nurture moments of quietude
Of birdsong
Children’s laughter
And the breeze whispering
Sweet nothings to your soul.

Within the infinite expanse
So immeasurably borderless
In perpetual ebb
And flow
And breath
And glow,
There hides
The implausible
Yet glaringly finite
Reality
That it too
Is delimited
By wind
And storm
And distant shores.

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.
