lessons in wonder

every photograph
is alive &
breathing

each one laughs
& has a big
heart

the photographer’s eye
surveys the lifescape
like a lion, sometimes
like an eagle, sometimes
like a mouse

he is the i
witness––
raising his camera
to salute
the sun

he teaches us
to love life
& how much life
there is

he awakens
the seeing heart
in every one of us––

& makes our souls
stop & wait &
feel

this world is
beautiful––

yet somehow we
forget to open our
eyes &
see

the photographer
enriches our insides
with the blessings
that fill our
everywhere

every eye-blink
is a lesson
in wonder
