Kathy took these panoramic pictures as we drove to Waterton. I wonder how I make sense of life without a more complete picture and the haze fades, revealing a complete and panoramic view. Even at that, life’s complexity shrouds the mystery, as there is too much to take in.
As a still shot,
Life–
Emerges by image by image,
Parsed, fitting my definition.
As a broad view,
Life–
Evidencing no visible pattern,
Full, rich, ineffable.
As a quilt,
Weaving—
One stitch into the next,
Ragged, seamless paradox.
As community member,
Retaining one’s self—
Binding together,
Adhering disparate parts into one.
