in the shifting winds

~ bo mackison

when the brilliant blaze of orange fades
& autumn’s yellows shift toward brown

when the apples’ fruit turns bitter
and the graying clouds gather

now is the time to investigate the mystery

of the ordinary,
the fading light,
the lengthening shadows:

it is there for the taking.

About Bo Mackison

I'm a photographer, book-artist, traveler, naturalist, and creator of the Contemplative Creatives Journey, An Online Workshop and Community and Desert Wisdom Cards and Workshops. Though often not well known, I find the desert a welcoming place - a healing space. Its mysteries and gifts transformed me several years ago. Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you. Please subscribe to receive my five part mini email course The Gifts of the Desert. It's my gift to you.
