Some of the books on one of my many shelves

Huddling

Decorated river stones left by young visitors, Roxaboxen Park, Yuma, Arizona
On the longest day
stones huddle in the shadows
to escape the sun.

Prayers

Detail from a triptych at Fábrica La Aurora, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México
(The original image is about the size of a U.S. quarter-dollar coin.)
Every pilgrim knows
the tiniest of prayers
is no waste of breath.
