The Way Things Work-Jorie Graham

THE WAY THINGS WORK

is by admitting
or opening away.
This is the simplest form
of current: Blue
moving through blue;
blue through purple;
the objects of desire
opening upon themselves
without us;
the objects of faith.
The way things work
is by solution,
resistance lessened or
increased and taken
advantage of.
The way things work
is that we finally believe
they are there,
common and able
to illustrate themselves.
Wheel, kinetic flow,
rising and falling water,
ingots, levers and keys,
I believe in you,
cylinder lock, pully,
lifting tackle and
crane lift your small head-
I believe in you-
your head is the horizon to
my hand. I believe
forever in the hooks.
The way things work
is that eventually
something catches.

Spring

Happy Spring!

Rocky Mountain National Park

Spring in the park, melting snows, lots of signs of elk.

Listening to Silence

Needed to fall into some silence this weekend. Lucky to walk through Rocky Mountain National Park and listen to the quiet of the landscape, photograph the slow emergence of Spring. Finding a bit of snow, the first pussywillows, melting ice.
Stillness....

Thinking About Love

I met with a couple yesterday who are planning their wedding in September. We talked all about the details for their event, the guests who were coming, their dreams for photography. The groom was uncomfortable with being the center of attention and it got me thinking about the beauty of a the wedding ritual and how it fuels all of us who attend, who witness and who support the couple. It is a courageous act to take vows in front of all your closest friends and family, to commit to one another for a lifetime of love. Relationships can be the greatest catalyst for opening your heart, for the joy and comfort of companionship, for insurmountable growth. Love is such a gift in all of its forms. The ceremony can feed all of us hope and infuse us with joy, through the witnessing of two people truly loving one another. By creating ceremony, ritual, community, we not only feed ourselves and each other, but I do believe we feed the greater collective of people and the planet. Blessings to all couples who share their love with all of us, and I know I am so very blessed to witness and document this most memorable day in people's lives. Thank you!
