Expedition

Photo of a gravel path with Australian native trees around the path.

Walkers embrace life,
leaning into the unknown—
a gravelly path.

Eye-opening

photo of the sunset with the silhouette of a jacaranda tree in the foreground, as seen through the slats of Venetian blinds

We’re one with nature:
superb summertime sunsets,
through Venetian blinds.

Warmth

Close up photo of a dead rose with the sun setting in the background.

A rose past its prime,
having shed vibrant petals,
seeks warmth in the sun.

Run

Close up photo of a buttercup flowers.

Rats scuttling about,
no time to watch the flowers;
all of life’s a race.

Rituals

Close up photo of three tomato plants and several unripe cherry tomatoes entwined with one another.

Summer gardeners
checking on the tomatoes;
daily mindfulness.
