    Alone or With

    Being alone is not enough, being with is not enough. The sound of bird and sight of sky is not enough.

    The warmth of sun, the wash of rain, the scent of pine and taste of fresh baked bread is not enough.

    Ideas alone are not enough to quell the doubt and fear that seeps below the waterline.

    No matter what my sensory delight, what flight of thought I make, my need remains.

    Alone or with, what is enough? What sign of hope with darkness trust? With life: give, love.

    The Beauty of a Land Laid Bare

    The landscape of the Sottish Borders is both beautiful and unsettling.

    All that remains of the once teaming habitat of emerald forests are the valleys and hills beneath. I am drawn to the forms of this place, and yet its naked grace shows the history of a richer time.

    When a tree sheds its seed, I pick it up, plant it, care for it. In time, countless living things will find their home and flourish from such easy effort.

    Profoundly Blind and Deaf

    When I do not see nor hear I more easily forget.

    Puerto Rico has no power. All communication has been cut by a mountainous storm. News outlets around the world have little to say about the desperate stories that unfold. My attention turns away.

    What if I were blind and deaf? Would I feel less about the world? Would I more easily forget those things I cannot touch? There is still much I can do without knowing.

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
