Photography Without Rules
If only I could stand on mountains
Or on the shoulders of men
Greater than I
Those whose lives have meaning
Beyond mere living
Statements made in their dying breath
Where can I find such a place
Within a heart
Of such complacency
This life lived
Head down
Burrowed into survival
And now as I survey
The landscape of past decades
That flash of lightning
A daughter calls
Or embraces
And says “I love you dad”
Thanks for all you did
I find
I am already there
A fence with a gate
Access
To get above it all
Hope everyone had a good holiday season. Looking forward to the new year with all its promise of discovery.
Cover photo taken from behind our home, up the hill looking west.
The view looking east:
One should first stand alone
Above the fray of discovery
Void of limitation or expectation
All the while
Knowing the dangers
And pitfalls that lie ahead
There is a plan to build
A path to follow
An end in sight
Shadows and mist
Must not cloud the vision
They are welcomed
After the climb of brambles
The descent onto hot sand
The plateaus of water
There will be peace
There will be creation
There will be resolution
Sometimes the artistic mind knows exactly how things will go. Other times, it’s about gathering information and responding in kind. A little out-of-body experience.
We are told to be afraid
The world is falling apart…
Consider the moon
Easily we are swayed into fear.
Don’t look at the moon. Consider it. Think about it.
Let it take you to the wonder of our lives.
There is a deep desire
A soul’s delightful struggle
Deciding which calms deeper
The crashing of waves
Power, translated through the sand
The heartbeat of God
A peaceful sunset
The day
Set to slumber
Chopin’s concerto
Beethoven’s sonata
Musical manipulation of the heart
I cannot fix the world.
