Balancing



I'm always amazed how leaves manage to stay attached to their branches
when the snow comes.
It's as if they've been surprised
but hold on all the same - and I marvel at their speckled beauty!

Presences

"Listen to presences inside poems.
Let them take you where they will.

Follow those private hints,
and never leave the premises."

Rumi

Mirror and Face

"We are the mirror as well as the face in it."

Rumi

Up the steps




I love going up these steps right near my home.
They lead me to all sorts of different walks.


 past the weathered grey fence
and then to choose where to go...

In the dusk of the evening

"In the dusk of the evening, the bird of some early dawn comes to the nest of my silence."
