Tibetan prayer flags flutter near a labyrinth at a church in Phoenix, Arizona.
A circular path
where prayer flags and birdsong meet—
my joy is complete.

The chapel at Mission San Xavier del Bac, Tucson, Arizona can be seen through a wrought-iron fence.

that now stun the air?

Footprints
Footprints are sometimes visible in the labyrinth at Unity of Phoenix Spiritual Center.

I follow nail-scarred footprints
as I journey on.

No Tongues
Cacti and a palo verde tree cast shadows in a courtyard of Mission San Xavier del Bac, Tucson, Arizona.

they have no tongues, these shadows,
yet their speech is clear.
