I sit with the stone-
its silence heavier

after a day of reading
the mind is pockmarked—
sunshine seeding
new lands, new crops

To rise in consciousness without love is to stretch into abstraction —
a sky vast yet cold, where light travels without warmth.

To love without consciousness is to burn without form —
a fire fierce but blind, consuming without understanding.

The full bloom of being, presence entwine.

Reflected in a rock pool

Bright red leaves and summer blooms,
Ghosts for winter dreams.

A few years ago there was a northern #Idaho super bloom. I was visiting my son and found these exquisite fairy bells. They bloom at home, too, but these were the largest, loveliest, and most luminous I've ever seen.

#wildflowers #nativeplants #flowers #forest #naturephotography 🌿

Luminous, white fairy bells with their yellow stigmas emerging from the airy, flaring petals. They bloom tucked under a leaf, as shown here, so I had to take this photo sitting on the ground looking up. The plants were unusually large that year, as were the flowers.
