Returning thanks

for life, I turn back and bow

eastward.

In the Mountain

Yellow chrysanthemums and green bamboo they don't belong to others.

Bright moon and clear breeze are not for the sphere of the senses.

They're all treasures of my house -

fetch them home freely use them, get to know them.

LATE SUMMER GARDEN

Banded garden spider in my tomatoes

Cherokee purple, brandywine, purple green beans, broccoli, today's eggs

 

I offer flowers. I sow flower seeds. I plant flowers. I assemble flowers. I pick flowers. I pick different flowers. I remove flowers. I seek flowers. I offer flowers. I arrange flowers. I thread a flower. I string flowers. I make flowers. I form them to be extending, uneven, rounded, round bouquet of flowers...

Aztec Song

Late summer bounty

...as a town in the desert looks up

to stars on a clear night.

RUMI

Today's Beauty....

August's Super 'Sturgeon' Moon lighting the trail

Beautiful black widow minding her own business

ROADS

Walking into the sunrise
