Verbal Description
A landscape image
A predominantly blurred image, light and shadow blend into varying tones of green and white; a few small red circles appear together on the right side of the image and a couple more appear in the bottom left. Clusters of white flowers of varying heights and in varying degrees of focus overwhelm the image giving it depth and expansiveness. Interspersed with splashes of green stalks and leaves, the majority of the flowers are taller and blurry; a small gathering of shorter more distant flowers are in relative focus just to the left of the photo’s center.
Nestled among other fuzzy flowers, this single cluster reveals crisp clear centers. Several yellow stamen stretch toward the light and overcome a slight shadow created by fuzzy petals from nearby flowers.
I suppose none of us can fully comprehend
The innumerable experiences
That accompany us across the landscapes of our lives.
Maybe, someday, I will stop trying to comprehend
As I am whisked away into the unreasonable realm
Of the mystery where nothing is as it seems
because everything is as it is.
For now, though, I am content to laugh
At my unyielding attempts to know it all
As if a single point of clarity is not sufficient .
To bless an entire lifetime with gratitude.
