Moments in Time

Spot Pond, Fells Reservation, Massachusetts

Along the shore of Spot Pond. I have been here many times. Moments in Time flying by. The Pond is never the same.

Lincoln Conservation Land, Massachusetts

Today is my birthday. I like to share it with the Forest. There is no concept of birthday Here. There is no time to be born. Nor the time to die. Life is Timeless.

Lincoln: Unfortunate Accident? Or Seasonal Clearing?

Lincoln: Tall and Little. Closeness to Family? Or to the Tall?

Lincoln: **I am better than you** game Is Not being played Here.

Lincoln: Still up in the Air. Touching the branches.

Lincoln: Dormant Life. Ready for Spring. Holding on to Old and Dry.

Lincoln: Egoless World. I can throw away mine.

The NEXT Day

Fells Reservation, Massachusetts

The Storm has passed. The Sun is up. Blue Sky. Fluffy Snow. Hidden Trails. On our Way. Steps into the White. So Gentle. So Fragile. The World I love to see. And leave untouched.

Fells: Snowflake Castles. In firm hold of pine needle whorls.

Fells: Little Pine. We know each other well. Just checking on Her.

Fells: How do I cross to the other side?

Fells: Heavy load. Coping skills come handy.

Fells: Baby pines seem to enjoy this hide-and-seek game

Fells: If only I could step over without touching It. Like a Sage.

Fells: We humans are a part of It. After All. And the Sun behind.

On THAT Day

Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts

It is snowing. Today's Warning: STAY AT HOME! Have we humans lost the ability to live on this Planet? I wish to be with the Winter. And I do not mind a slip.

Fresh Pond: Caught in It? Or a Part of It.

Fresh Pond: Snow on their backs. They do not seem to mind.

Fresh Pond: I do not mind either. Different dress code.

Fresh Pond: Trees. A Script on white page.

Winter comes with a BANG

Cambridge, Massachusetts

Did She hear my Cries? Of course, the science tells us a different story. With numbers, formulas, analysis... all the necessary tools to get to the Truth. Is it the Truth? Does it matter? Not to me. I rather stick with my Story. It makes me FLY.

A Day for Swimming

Mauna Kea Beach, Hawai'i aka Big Island

You swim to experience the water rippling past you, and to enjoy the floating sensation when you lie on your back and look at the blue sky and the birds circling about. Every moment of it you are simply absorbed in this ripply, luminous world, looking at the patterns and the shifting net of sunlight underneath and the sand way down below - that's what swimming is about.
