Time Out of Time
One of the great gifts of art-making is an experience of "forgetting" ourselves and our self-consciousness, and stepping into something much bigger. Photography can connect us to time out of time. (Quote from Eyes of the Heart by Christine Valters Paintner)
Like photography, poetry is a tender process. We forget ourselves and let go of expectations, experience light and shadow, storytelling and re-framing, experience something new or something familiar in a new way.
Both photography and poetry offer a fresh mirror back to us.

Reflection
Reflection
Pond…
mirror
of deep sky,
of fern and leaf…
neighbour to moss covered stones, alive with
beetle and robin, chipmunk and goldfinch.
Ripples of splash
where ducks rest,
breathing life.
Pond
sings its
generous
song of quiet,
heals a world
that has forgotten
how
to mirror
Peace.
Photo is mine.
