Desert Still Life © 2013 Bo Mackison
We have what we seek. It is there all the time, and if we give it time it will make itself known to us. ~ Thomas Merton
I am…
a scattering of rocks
mesquite branches, brittle and gray
fading desert blossoms.
I am…
a tattered curtain
a piecemeal quilt
a lock and rusty key.
I am…
a cloud of red dust
tumbleweed dancing
a barbed wire fence.
I am…
an album of faded photographs
a deck of Tarot cards
a poetry book.
I am…
a lost thought
questions, unanswered
a silent meditation.
I am…
pulp and a rolling pin
an inked letter press
warp and weft.

About Bo Mackison
Pretty fascinating.
I’ve been on a poetry — of sorts — roll. I think it’s the desert…
Yes. You are indeed back in your Zen-like mode, much to our delight. Love the image, which goes so well with your words.
Ommmm. Zen. Yes. 🙂
I thought I recognized that quote. It is one I need to be reminded of time and again. Lovely image.
It is a great quote, isn;t it? The desert seems ripe for photography right now. What a subject!
