6 April



once i stuck my fingers

in the waterfalls of time

 I can never forget the way the droplets of water

looked in that light

suspended in the air like tiny diamonds

time is not a barrier

time is not a single unit

it zips back and forth

forming  pleats

i feel your power shining 

in the pockets of light

and because i am not tough

i travel there

and find you in the details

time

    I like the idea of finding time in the details, especially when the details are diamond-like droplets.

    Yes, time definitely is not a single unit, but zips back and forth....and also doesn't always pass at the same pace. I love 'the waterfalls of time.'

    Love your poem. Especially the lines:

    once i stuck my fingers

    in the waterfalls of time

    I can never forget the way the droplets of water

    looked in that light

    I hope you have a great weekend!

    I liked the way this piece ended. I found myself turning the words, over and over. Lovely writing.

    suspended in the air like tiny diamonds - Loved this poem and excellent line, time drops like diamonds, each second sparkling in the sun. Well done.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
