Invisible grace


Things are finding their place; a sense of poise returning.


A sideways slip of the pencil
and crossed lives may find
that by some invisible grace
they come to settle
on holy ground... *


The 'smush' that's been me recently has taken off and rolled on down the hill. . . splosh, into the harbour she went. Thank you and fare thee well, I say. Timing-wise, this bodes well. There are seven days between now and the day I turn fifty (I love the word 'turn') and I'm happy to report that my anticipation for this next half-century is mounting.

These are the last of the Moeraki pics for now; rock faces, line drawings, hard-soft edges. That day by the sea was a very great gift.









SOMETHING NEW

I have a newfound taste for lightness
