power of the onion...

So the humble onion could have secret star status... Another thought for the morrow... https://t.co/Foq1THoEFI

magnetic charm...

the magnetic charm 

of a lone flame

is the music for hopeful lovers

without strings

without keys

a birthday...

*today is my father's birthday...*

My posts today cover topics I know he would like...

trees and wild places - every Saturday - he always took my younger brother and me for walks through bushland, just down the end of our street - the area now Western Sydney.
He taught us to value Nature...

learning - he valued every opportunity to learn, always reading about the sciences, new discoveries...

music? - I don't really know... Perhaps I was too young to know...But I am guessing, by his interests, that he would love exploring sounds as do I...

a creator - a self-taught gardener and lover of making 'something from nothing' - esp woods
The bookshelf above he made for me when I was in primary school...
I loved it and still do...
It is made from packing cases...
(The other image below is of a stand he made for my mother...)

he valued his own company - the Emily Dickinson connection...

Sadly, I know little more of my father...
He passed away when I was barely 12, just starting high school...

But I feel that I am very much a product of him...
My father lives on...in me...

*A very happy birthday, dad...*

Kimberley magic...

Usually we think of earthy colours as soft and blending brown-greens...But these gorgeous, stark, earthy contrasts overturn that view...Sharply rising, jagged, sandy-orange rock frilled in greens...Just magical... https://t.co/idk80YWITK

an invisible force and wonder...

Love the wave of the leaves...as if some sign of 'keep going'... And the force? The force seems to have a special task for me...'No matter how busy you are, you MUST write - for your mental health...' So far, I am following orders in ridiculous obeyance...

water has many faces...

water has many faces
sometimes living as a lake
a spring, a creek, a river or sea
a wild flood or ephemeral wetland
I select the waters I am

in mirrored pools of rain...

in mirrored pools of rain
beyond my window
little dove contemplates
random worlds of
nothing in particular

my first love...

thunderous cymbals
and sparks of lightning bolts
proclaimed a parade
of bliss and heartache and dreams of
never losing my first love#MayTanka #NaTankaMo
