Volcanic rocks are hard places for plants. And these Explorers choose to live Here. We sit down with them. Enjoying the Moment.

On a Hot Day
Fells Reservation, Massachusetts
It is Hot today. Close to 35°C (95° F). Tree crowns shadow from the Sun. Leaves fanning the Air around. How noble do I feel in the forest... Recalling my recent Whole Foods exchange with Haiti-born Moise: It is Hot today. He nods. You are well used to it, aren't you? He looks at me: Yes... But in Haiti, you sit under a tree. Here, it is all cement. I smile. How TRUE... Along the Path. Heat dissipates. In the shadows. And swirling breeze.

Somebody is watching
Moore's Swamp, Concord, Massachusetts
Chipmunks are shy. Quick to run away and hide... This One jumps up the trunk. And halts. I stop. Looking at each other...

Around the Pond
Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Abundant Life surrounds the Pond. Safeguards the water we all drink Here. Captivates. Enchants. I love to share time with IT.

Swan Lake
Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts
This is only the second time I see a swan Here. Quietly floating. Toward me... Briefly, the Pond becomes a stage. And Maya Plisetskaya comes into sight... Then turns away. Dips her neck into the water. Yanks a blade of grass. Spiraling IT out of the water. And moves on in silence. Each atom in perfect balance. The very definition of Supreme Grace.
To paraphrase Tao Te Ching: Supreme Grace does not know grace, that is why it has grace...
