The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains

Go Winter
We live in a hurry whilst everything else stands still.
We stop seeing what is before us.
We don’t feel what is inside us.
We miss the point. We misjudge. We err.
We are hurrying to nowhere.

It is cold. It is dark. The tree hibernates calmly. Waits.
Waits till winter ends. Preserving and restoring.
Go winter. Says my Acer tree.
No run. No hurry.
It is going to be Spring again.
It always does.

I used an iPhone 7. Here is the gallery. Continue reading
The Fall

Watching My Life Unfold
“Thinking ’bout the time that passed in my life
Wondering where did it all go
Thinking ’bout the memories that I’ve left behind
Wondering if there’ll be much more…”
