View from the top of Sugarloaf Reserve in Christchurch, New Zealand, with two lanky weeds in the foreground, swaying in the wind. — Sugarloaf Reserve, Christchurch, New Zealand.

Alone, two large weeds
leaning into each other—
on top of the world.

Waiting

An art installation consisting of three chairs, two facing each other and one, the opposite direction. The Anne Frank memorial in Wellington. — Anne Frank memorial, Victoria Park, Wellington

She waits for her life:

for the chairs to be sat on;

music to begin.

Balance

Close up photo of a cup of coffee with a swirling art.

Swirling in a cup,
yin and yang; coffee and milk—
a balancing act.

Shade

Photo of a hiking trail during the early afternoon, through a canopy of oak trees.

Stands the mighty oak
under the scorching sunshine
sprinkling shade on me.

Finding your feet

Photo of a rocky hiking trail strewn with dried, yellowing, leaves.

Treading new pathways,
slipping into adventure:
dried leaves on old rocks.
