The word incense comes from the Latin word incendere, meaning ‘to burn’.

To sit in first sun before the liminal curling of a single stick of incense. Sandalwood. Cedar. Leather.

Listening to the variegated song-sounds creep alive to the thrill that they are birds for at least another day.

—ooOoo—

After sitting for a while watching the smoke and my aimless thoughts arise, perhaps from the same place….

….then, hey this would make a nice photo.

So here it is. An interruption to deeper things. Click.

It’s OK. But it’s just a pixilated approximation of the kairos of the burn.

Go find your own stick of incense, and early tomorrow morning find a space to see for yourself.
