calling all angels for 2025...

just outside the door 

is 2025

at midnight

the door will unlatch and 

slide open

2024 will just be a shadow

cast by the self

2025 will be the new light

of hopeful wonder

it may be a universal door

but on opening, it reveals

many highways

many tracks

many mountains and valleys ahead

some visible

some invisible

all waiting to be owned

by choice

or by circumstance

all person specific

no matter race or age

to safely tread this testing wheel of time

to progress effectively

beyond the door

we need to simply keep walking

keep walking with our angels

our friendly angels of earth or spirit

our better angels

our personal

better angels

"...President Carter will never be far away – buried alongside Rosalynn next to a willow tree down the road, his memory calling all of us to heed our better angels." 

- Statement from the Obamas on the death of 100 year old President Jimmy Carter.

healthy teamwork...

father and son

leading teacher and student

healthy teamwork

gardening chores

allocated role plays

balance the load

family outdoor tasks

an earthy bond grounds and shapes

family connections

 

one word to describe this year...

If you mean one word for this year in general, on a global scale, I would choose 'muddy'. If you mean one word describing my personal year, I would choose 'enlightening'.

in solitude...

in solitude
the soul takes centre stage
and your spotlight
navigates
explores
deeper thoughts
deeper feelings
the chaos of
unvoiced questions
seeking some peace in
solutions#micropoetry https://t.co/mpdm0DxM2G

October is a mighty month...

Perhaps these quotes refer to autumn Octobers in the northern hemisphere, but my birthday begins October and I live in the southern hemisphere of spring worlds. So October symbolises my favourite month of my favourite seasons. pic.twitter.com/kuUqbzMwj3

flash dance party...

early Spring morning
riddled and spiced with
precocious winds
wisely, safely
I stay inside and watch
the flash dance party#micropoetry

Fried Green Tomatoes...

On a grey, wintry Sunday, still robed in jammies, I'm diving into a treasured reading memory. This book still brings laughter, tears + a good mix of fascination.

SBS team...

The SBS team is a strong team of very likeable characters presenting a fine range of news items from different perspectives. The team keeps bias to a minimum. I watch no other channel bar SBS. Much respect! Keep forging ahead everyone!
