Imagine this
place…
Where we
live in harmony with nature
Landscaping
reflecting the natural beauty of the Sonoran desert
Instead of
gravel and cement; agave, mesquite, palo verde flourish
Rainwater
washes down roof tops to nourish fruit trees and fill aquifers
When we no
longer obstruct the flow but go with it
Rivers surrounded
by cottonwood and oak
Flow
Imagine this
place
Where we
live in harmony with others
Nurturing,
inspiring the individual gifts everyone has to share
Instead of
TV and Youtube: family, neighbors, community connects
Supporting
local farmers, artisans, craftsmen, passionate entrepreneurs
When we no
longer obstruct the flow but go with it
Talents developed
with encouragement and love
Flow
Imagine this
place
Where we
live in harmony with the dirt
Harvesting nourishing,
heritage crops for everyone to share
Instead of teaching
lack and fear, we teach love, justice, environmental respect
Restoring local
rivers, aquifers with berms, water tanks, catchment basins
When we no
longer obstruct the flow but go with it
Desert crops
sprout in the dirt, roots reaching for the
Flow
Imagine all
the time
Time to live
in the present, fully alive
To soak in the
brilliance of our sunsets during an evening stroll
To feel the
wind in your face as you coast down a hill
Time to take
in the fragrance of creosote after the rain
To toast the
spectacle of monsoon storms with your love
Time to dig
in the garden with your children
To settle
back and watch things grow
Time to share
your harvest at a neighborhood potluck
To paint, to read, to bake, to sing, to dance, to play…
Imagine
floating on your back, you are part of the flow
Imagine this
place
Flow
