Besides intimate marital activity, this is what I live for.
Black Canyon, AZ |
Spring sun, third son, saunter day. Already desert Arizona
hot, off-trail to a little known waterhole, in one of the many canyons named
“Black.”
Black Canyon AZ |
No trail, steep loose rock. Snake season greetings!
No tourists at this destination. Water and bird song.
Black Canyon AZ |
Swam in this lower pool, sweet painfully cold.

Snow melt trickle in a side canyon, tasty!
“Through no wisdom of
its own, but out of necessity, industrial civilization… is now forced to
realize that there are limits, and that there is a life-support system composed
of millions of subsystems all working or playing together with amazing grace.”
--Gary Snyder, A Place
in Space, p. 98
