More AWEsome when viewed LARGE. Even MORE awesome when you jump off into infinity, but OK, you can wait for that.
Just another compilation of our family’s love of mountains, nature, and the cosmos. We live life in amazement.
The focus of this piece is an awareness of the possibilities of renewable energy as a freeing source of unlimited power in mankind’s future, both wind and solar. The location of the EArth-bound photograph is the upper slopes of Mt. Welch in New Hampshire, USA.

“Inspiration,
Big fat bacon,
3 little pigs,
on Blackpool Station”
Twas a silly ditty my father used to say
well he would say it to almost anything that ended with a “…tion”
Amazing Worldtion!
Big fat bacon,
3 little pigs,
at Windham station.

My Dad would have approved!
The stars are recoiling…
too close to our waters,
magnetic fields of iron blood,
and the winter never goes away,
when the sun roots in them.
Rosa (a hello…for you and your family.)
Hah! I just wrote you about your book before reading this. Intense. Iron rails when you bend your ear to the ground and listen to the vibrations from distant shores. And, the winter roots hidden from sun resting with tears for helpless vegetation who are happy without us believing or knowing their deepest thoughts.
