Photography and Poem By Brad Kmoch

Sitting
  in silence
  with another
  seed planted
Standing
  the first step
  must be perfect
  the way is thin
Walking
  Ah! here it is
  strong, sturdy, still growing
	Look! sweet sugar snow dance beginning
	even now spring is bursting
		newness emerging
		brilliance, kindness overflowing
			Heed! all paths converging
					       some coming
                                                   some going…
Pause
Sitting
  in silence
  with myself
  replant reclaim
Standing
  need to move
  letting go
  the way is open
Walking 
  Ah! the journey 
  the story
  the embodiment
        Look! what’s new
        what’s changed
        what’s constant
                  Heed! possibilities
                                           here
                                                   now…
