Garden dreams

The attached photo captures a tight cluster of vibrant roses blooming amid lush green foliage, evoking a serene garden scene with a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere. Petals showcase a stunning spectrum of rich, warm oranges transitioning smoothly to softer peachy pinks and apricot hues at the edges, accented by subtle yellow undertones that glow like a sunset under diffused, sun-kissed light. The low-contrast lighting, hazy bokeh in the blurred background, and misty edges create an impressionistic, painterly effect, dissolving sharp details into creamy softness for a sense of peaceful intimacy and lingering beauty, perfectly framed by cool green leaves.

In that moment, coming into frame, before the shutter clicks, a kind of communion is frozen in time.

It is the east…no, really, it’s just the east at dawn from my dirty kitchen window. Any excuse to whip out a camera, ya know?

idle sleeping words
static wanders
through January aromas
for now is a time
and philosophy waits to answer

15 December 2025 ~ Architecture held my attention on this quiet day along Princess and Front Streets, until I met this extraordinary family of women. Thank you for collaborating to make this a day to remember!

she knows not of #Mars
ancient Roman god of war
whether near or far
her #struggles will again be ignored
by a world who is still sending bombs

this poet prays you #survive
sweet goddess of undeserved scars

Twilight lengthens. It does it slowly like grief once did. The river touches the banks again and again. The sun withdraws. The birds turn, obedient to what remains. So many are absent now. We #reminisce with #gratitude among what we miss.

After the first day of finals, participating in a prescribed burn. Most people don't realize that ATX is nestled in a high-risk wildfire zone. As both wildfire/flood risks rise across the country, and wildfire season is growing longer, other cities are watching what we do here. #Academia #STEM 🤓🧪
Prescribed burn in Austin, Texas.

Good morning, or evening, or afternoon, or... Wishing you ease as you head into the weekend. Me? I'll be in The Tree House, bundled up next to this candle.

If you go out into the world with curious amazement and sincere gramercy, the world will eventually greet you with the same attributes. One of the best parts of opening your heart & mind to any exploration is the coming home to yourself. 🫶🏻

Reading Alan Watts reminds me that the stuff we swear #matters is usually just mental static pretending to be signal. The Way of Zen drops this gentle bomb: the moment you stop narrating your life, you start actually living it.

show me that enchanted topography
the place where our feet bare
trod gentle upon the earth
dancing working
exploring understanding
resting playing
standing tall

endless splendor
confessions murmured
deep night
watching witnessing
rowdy thrums
dream whispers
dancing tango
on tongues

One key question: what do we need to create stable and decent human communities that can thrive in a sustainable relationship with the larger living world? We need a radical feminist challenge and an uncompromising rejection of men's assertion of a right to control those who identify as female.✌️

a scripted playing field
another stroke of time
the transfer of scents
to remedy the situation
contributing to the flux
knowing her touch is here
a two-sided card to play
