Be Like a Flower

 

tranquility abounds
penetrating presence
the mind rests
natural view rises
there is only to be
like a flower or a tree
smiling at the sun

Rocky Mountain Majesty

each breath

such richness

an entire universe unto itself

why stray

last week I wandered around the east side of the Rocky mountains in Montana 

and Alberta Canada

this photo was taken at Many Glacier Montana

the above poem is written by my dear friend Neil Cohen

for me it is profound

The Colors of Rocks Water and Air

our world

our planet

expresses a depth of beauty

that stirs my life

deeply and to the surface

inspires my breath to meet the respiration of life

with vitality

with presence

with appreciation

to inhale the air that rises from these bubbles

to know I breath air stirred by glacial melt

is a gift enormous

air is something we all share 

earth and stones the clay our bodies rise from

rocks our brothers and sisters

care something to be on the surface of our flesh

for to care for our family is essential
