nature + ingenuity

It is so tempt­ing to rail at the storms of hatred
the politics
the religions
culture
all ve­hi­cles to ei­ther en­light­en us or spi­ral us into a pit of despair

Which path will be our thriv­ing
not just sur­viv­ing?

I came across a pho­to­graph­ic moment,
in­clud­ed here
cap­tured with the nascent dig­i­tal tech­nol­o­gy of hu­mans in 2007
the first iPhone

be­tween na­ture and our in­ge­nu­ity there are so many beau­ti­ful mo­ments to behold

will we lose them to our less­er angels? 

By the way, no Pho­to­shop mod­i­fi­ca­tions of this image
all those colours you see were nature’s doing
the beau­ties take the breath away for these pre­cious moments

Our hu­man hor­rors cause one to gasp and choke
will our spasms do us in?
