Sanity Of The Mind

Coue's Deer

Let the eyes wander. Glance into the skies above.  

Cave Creek Canyon

Look far.  Look close. Breathe deeply.  

Gall on oak

I wander.  I stray.  I stay the course.  I look forward. Backwards. Glance sideways. 

Blue-throated Hummingbird

For out there in the great beyond lies something deeper and full of meaning. 

Rustler Park

Or maybe there is no meaning at all. But even that carries with it a truth. 

Birders at Rustler Park

Each day, I open my eyes and shake the blankets off.  What will be my story today? I begin with a solid cup of coffee. 

Magnificent Hummingbird

I forget at times that I am an outsider. They feed. They fly. They migrate. I am lost in their flight patterns. Circle. Spin. Dash. Zip. My eyes are mesmerized by their crazy sky dances. 

Hermit Warbler

Time is fluid. It trickles from one moment to the next. One cycle after another. One drop joined to another flowing forever down a path.

Mexican Chickadee

Nature is art. It has meaning.

It is my therapy. 

Magill makes eye contact with two young male Coue's Deer

Proximity blurs lines. Mammals, birds and all. 

We find peace together. Away from the chaos. Our own personal sanctum.
