I was out again today on my bicycle with only my iPhone for pictures...
...riding and thinking and stopping to be amazed that a world with so much chaos in it can be beautiful.


It's jacaranda time again in San Diego...




chaos is a game with no rules...
the storm splinters houses,
interrupts everything...
hindsight alternatives
don’t comfort...
it doesn’t help anybody to insist
that my father
shouldn’t have started smoking
in the first place...

the trick is keeping the faith,
whatever form it takes...
it has to be enough to hope
that order will come eventually
maybe...
and not give in to despair 
when solace is brief
after the fire in dry brush
comes roaring through...



...and something called Brazilian Coral or Parrot's Beak.


The house at Upas and Sixth...


...and the Marston House at the edge of Balboa Park.
