Eye-opening

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.

Works

Photo of Adelaide city, as seen from the window seat of an airplane, as it comes in for landing.

All the world’s a stage:
parks, rivers, corporations;
you and I, workers.
