Had the chance to catch one of my favorite bluegrass outfits this weekend. The Stringfield Springers are a like a little hillbilly orchestra. 🪕💚

There’s something so beautiful
about the seamless flow
of a child’s imagination.
Reality and Fantasy move
together with no thought
for complication or fuss.
Simple. Open. Acceptance.

Why is it that decay is so compelling to the human eye?
Do we read a familiar story in the crumbling matter? Does the inexorable pattern of entropy reach out to our deeper instincts? Can we find peace in studying the contours of our shared fate?

Life’s extraordinary tenacity never ceases to amaze me.
Any crack, seam, break.
Any opportunity can bring stunning beauty.

Some lines from a drive up to Burlington:
The Still Empty Branches of Early Spring
Soft curving lines of green
White puffs of mist
blanketing over the olive green mountains
The tall dark pines in the foreground
spring stately up melancholy hope
