Aloneness

Cotter river, outskirts of Canberra

As room of one’s own,
in pool of self-containment,
retreats, a writer.

Oh, look!

Grasslands, Canberra

The closer you look,
the clearer it seems—nature,
waiting to be seen.

Mother and child

Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra

As the clouds make way
for sky mother smiling down,
river child beams back.

Love thyself

Graffiti on a bike path, Canberra — Graffiti on my regular bike path, Canberra

Daily reminder,
self care and wellness council—
bike path graffiti.

Happy place

Cotter dam, Canberra

Picture perfection,
worth more than a thousand words—
in nature at peace.
