In the moment

 only this moment.

What is the facial expression of a human

 when she/he achieves this sense of calm, inter-connected peace?  

Freddy on right; Fritz on the left.   

Right now the world is rocky and explosive

 Who would have thought, comfort can come from boiling water in a cast iron skillet. 

Purification, of sorts.  Cathartic.

Calligraphic message

all is well 

well, not quite...

 

Zeroing-in on details

Makes the object a thing of narrative-memory.  Turns an object into an abstraction.  

Side-by-side

 Life and death on the same plant.  Death is as large as the living.  Both exquisite in their particulars.  

Tenacity

 In all forms of nature.  Lots to learn in the spilling of dirt; in the disruption of concrete.
