Revisiting old Photos & Writing : Entry 1 : northern pacific Albatross

No Name

Albatross.



They surf the waves
if a human on a surfboard
rides the incredible swell
just touching the water
Albatross rides
just not touching
needing no board



The Ocean's elders
They were not made for the open Ocean.
the open Ocean was made for them.
how can it not be so?

one only need witness the glide
and only once



everything else out here is a bird
a respectful occupation
Albatross, though,
Albatross is an even higher level



one only need witness the glide
and only once

a mediator?
to whom from whom
a messenger?
to what from what



It may be none, any, or all these things,
may be more

It's basic..
It is a bearer
of one thesis

a reminder
a teacher



what ever It may be,
it is clear
it says with no words at all...

YOU ARE NOT ALONE
YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE
Stop acting like it

one only need witness the glide
and only once

call me what you will



Albatross.
