thank you!

And oh so beautiful in their meanderings

🏴‍☠️🌱✊
brilliant write—thank you Raven!

i know the best place to paddle to get more, too

a seed awakens
defying the cold dark soil
a small mutiny

there's #harmony in each nail as it's forced between fibres of deadwood, and the splinters of hope-giving light are extinguished. there's acceptance in the notes of #brick clay, and finally giving up, that penetrate like darkness through lifelessness

spring rain—
the plow
without its mask

#haiku #dailyhaikuprompt

The machine
woke up
from slumber.

The machine
has got
somewhere to go.

Comply—
or get out.

At least,
get out
of the way.

It won’t stop
to swallow you
inside it.

It will crush
your bones,
still advancing.

had we the choice
we may have stayed stardust
not even the sorrows
nor shadows darkening
the corners of mouths
we dwell here
inside the hours
breathing before dawn
for we are weary of hate and fear

beating in harmony

A center that never collapses,
yet everything leans toward it—
a hush in the wide sweep of motion.

From that unmoving radius,
pattern and possibility spiral outward,
each turn a recollection of the first impulse,
each moment a fresh inscription
on the face of what is always already whole.

I remember blue
blue
blue
blue
I remember blue
the rest, a blur
shaped as family

The bend in the river has the crimson sun waffling through the mist as dormant greenery is dusted with frost enhancing its details. The water is is calm and is reflecting as much of the world above as it can.

Everything awakens with the Suns’ encouragement 📷🕊️ …

To look into empty space is not merely to search for an answer.

It is to encounter the strange possibility that what appears empty may be the most fundamental presence of all.

#Truth

A close-up of a flowering Ourisia macrophylla (North Island mountain foxglove) spotted just off the trail leading up a slope of Taranaki Maunga (Mt. Egmont). From the wiki: "Plants of this species of New Zealand foxglove are showy, perennial, large-leaved, tufted, rhizomatous herbs that are often glabrous (hairless) or sometimes hairy with non-glandular or glandular hairs. They have crenate, ovate to heart-shaped leaves. The flowers are in whorls in each node, with a regular calyx, and a large, white irregular corolla. The corolla tube is yellow with three lines of yellow hairs inside." and "Ourisia macrophylla plants are large, showy, hairy perennials with whorls of flowers with large white corollas, and three lines of yellow hairs inside the corolla tube, characters they share with another New Zealand species, O. crosbyi." All is know is this: PREEEEEEEETTY 🌼🤍

Moonstruck I am
#spellbound by your charm

Enchanted by the magic in your eyes
Your love has me wrapped in its warm arms

My heart soars like a bird in the skies
for in this love a true philosophy lies

That lifes greatest surprise is a love in disguise

View from top floor of the jobsite this week. Blue cloudy March skyline over the wintery valley. A slight fog rolling thru, bringing some thunder snow to close out the work day.

B&W photo while taking a lunch break. View from the unfinished deck of the mountain valley out west amongst the cloudy skyline.

It’s a crazy, harsh, & mysteriously beautiful world. Wishing I could carry you all with me wherever I go..

Take care sweet beings under the #bluesky

B&W photo captured on the lunch break this week. An old leafless tree growing out of a rock outcropped overhang. Standing tall next to a brand new pine - two beautiful silhouettes against the foggy forest backdrop.

Gestures on the foggy front lines..

A favorite by M.Kei

a vacant lot
full of weeds
and mourning doves,
today my heart
is just like that

Your bird disguise was more dragon, umbrella skin and bones for wings. Toothy beak. Mine mostly ideas of flight, feathered with scribbled pages.

But the crows let us join their storytelling. You heard strange tales of shiny treasures beyond reach. I heard secrets of the sky.

#ThingsToWriteAbout

On the trail's mid-way point/platform, and peering thru the dense forest's window frame, one is presented with a stunning view of Wairēinga/Bridal Veil Falls. 55 m/180 ft in height, the falls splash land into a large pool of water at its base, carved over time. "Waireinga means leaping waters, referring to wairua (spirits) leaping the great height of this waterfall. Waireinga is also spiritually known by tangata whenua (people of the land) to be occupied by Patupaiarehe (Maori fairies) who are kaitiaki (guardians) of the area." https://www.raglan23.co.nz/about-raglan/bridal-veil-waireinga-falls/

a lightning bolt is visible in the dark sky ALT: a lightning bolt is visible in the dark sky

My home has a metal roof. I love it when a storm hits and it’s raining, thundering, and lightning striking so loud, that I can’t even hear myself think. 🤩 ⛈️⚡️

Let me paint the sky
A #magnanimous blue
With words that won’t make you cry
For more than a few
The heavens may wish to pry
But like morning dew
They’ll disappear with a content sigh
& I’ll continue to paint the night sky
