Conflicts of Interest - a poem

Posted over 2 years ago

Conflict of Interest

patience exceeding the lost madness,
fighting the reign – angry insanity.
vying for control, a dichotomy.

losing to the end – ancient battles,
evolutionary inevitability,
the loss of knowledge,
the death of understanding is at hand.
we are glad to see it go,
waving goodbye with red-clotted sticks
and true love.

*Open Secrets

High lights and gleaming cords,
roads and paths;

but do not hide;
for millions lie hidden,
in cold pockets,
who will warm by reflection
of we who see;
grasping the secret power
of the present.

Peek around the corner
from the quiet shores of
sentimental memories…

Climbing Mt. Oberlin, Glacier National Park, Montana, USA

Posted almost 3 years ago

Call it artistic inspiration. Mt. Oberlin is one of the easiest peaks to climb in this national park, but it fulfilled a long-time dream for me, and gave my daughter a chance to go where hardly any 9-year old girl has gone before.


First, the classic park view looking west.


Mt. Oberlin (8180’) on the left.


Looking north along the Continental Divide lovingly know as “The Garden Wall…

It has been an amazing nine days since I last wrote. I finally managed to work thorough all 31 pages of RB groups to seek out all that came close to fitting my work. Painstaking submission of old and new work to appropriate groups has resulted in 16 Features in those nine days. I am totally blown away by RB’s incredible kindness in featuring all this work.

At the same time I would like t…
