When I see a bench in a garden, it’s an invitation for me to slow down and sit for a while.
https://semnul.com/creative-mathematics/?p=sn6rbu37e “Dawdling” my grandfather would have said, but gardens are meant for strolling, sauntering, absorbing, meditating, observing. I always think a garden bench is the fine invitation to stop and sit a spell.

I am a seeker of labyrinths.
https://www.parolacce.org/2024/09/18/hnm4v02o I walked a labyrinth on the edge of the Sonoran Desert in early spring. What an extraordinary experience, connecting with the rhythm of the labyrinth pattern. Now I seek other labyrinths to walk. I journal after walking the labyrinth, and then I work my journal writing into poetry. Here is one from earlier this year:

perched on the spire of a tree cholla.
Its whisper, low and moaning, travels the arroyo
carried on swirling winds.
