I love to get close-up and personal with flowers, leaves, trunks and stems. Much of the plant kingdom has spent millions of years perfecting the art of reflecting light in brilliant and inspiring ways. They had to attract animals to do some of their most important business.
This image invites you to meditate on Love.
Not the possessive, lusty, and ego-based love of “I want you.” Instead, try the expansive, universal, and selfless love of “We are one.”
I often walk with the dog past Urban Adamah… a wonderful oasis in an otherwise industrial city zone. It is “an educational farm and community center… that integrates the practices of Jewish tradition, mindfulness, sustainable agriculture, and social action to build loving, just, and sustainable communities.”
This morning, as I walked past the front gate to the farm, my head was crowded with the darkness of war, when I looked down to find this perfect single dahlia. It brought me out of my head and into my heart, and reminded me of the word inscribed on the farm gate… V’ahavta. Love. With all our heart.
My hope is that this serves as a visual aid to your prayers for peace. We must pray. We must envision. We must make it possible.

A photo without manipulation
It has been a while
Sometimes the camera
Captures the Stranger Things
No upside down required
Green plant
stands as sentry
of spirit
in front of
silver and gold
curtainConnect to the living
as medicine
for the soul
and to keep
greed at bayThere is no fear
when we see
all as one
when we let
selfish desire
subsideLiving in the field of Love
Infused with Love and
Joyous Connection and
Playful Moments of Spirit and
Creative Wonder.Listening to: boygenius
Each pair of eyes
hold a wisdom
deeper than
the physical form
would indicateEach pair of eyes
see the truth
of what is at the center
and how many licks
it takes to get thereEach pair of eyes
bless the world
by realizing
that each moment
can be made new
When news of Trump
or raucous stories
of party politics
fighting like cats and dogs
make the moment
feel oppressive
take a breath
turn to nature
listen for music
of birds or people
look to artSee this…
you are the light
when you breathe in love
Changes.
We’re quite aware of what we’re going through.
Open to all things new, here and now.
Like the ripples
Change
The surface
But leave the deep
