Homage
Oh ancient ancestral land
You are a place
Of bone memory
Of buchu in the blood…
Wild Embrace
I can reach camp first
I can stagger in last
I can race out front
I can lag behind…
A Place to Flourish
Langeberg
huge folds of molten rock dough revealed…
Like a Mountain Pool
May you be held by the earth
and like a mountain pool,
may you be filled with streams of joy…
There is Nothing
I am learning that there is nothing
in life to hold on to,
except the welcome of wet washed rocks…
After the Burn
In the yellow light of late autumn
we walked through the blackened landscape…
This Moment
I am here.
With dancing restios
and Mimetes kisses…
I Know Only that I Will
I don’t know what weight and depth and solidity the earth,
the soil, the rocks, the mountains…
Be Mindful of Where you Tread
The paths that you walk into life will outlive you,
they are what the earth will remember you by…
Belonging
Adrift in an open field
I took my heart for a walk.
Passing sandstone alters…
