If you are not the early bird… but they will take the worm and not the seed.

I’ve always found worship to be rather seedy.

I love the golden light shining on this unusual plant.

  The light in the desert is most amazing at dawn and dusk.

  Good Day MMT, I noticed some confusion in one of your comments on CDHK #473 … sorry for that confusion I have tried to explain it in our new Special episode by Kerouac which I have just posted.

each grain, each seed, each hair on every head…
is said to be counted. (but by whom?)

unspoken thoughts weighted with value?
perhaps the only place to hide is the open desert?

always a delight to visit, thank you for yours.

this just opens my heart. I bow from a distance.

  Just imagine what it would be like to bow close-up! 😉

    early winter here, not a lot of ripe seeds, but I could bow to the kidney beans in the cupboard. in fact I often do!

      Sometimes I simply bow to my kidneys! 😉

        When I became a teacher, I was told that one of the requirements was to have a bladder of steel. Not much room for worship during the day! 😉

“before the ripe seeds” – that is a marvelous line, the sound, the image, the concept

I read this last night and today I love it even more…could even be a sequel to the one you did on “clouds”…very thought provoking…

Your photos are like wordless haiku

  I wonder if there is a word for “wordless haiku”?
