“Learn character from trees, values from roots and change from leaves”.
~ Tasneern Harneed

……………………………………..🖤
Each breath since
ever I was,
floating
in the dream
outside my head.
I gather
the balloon strings
until I feel it pop.
The tear
that burns
in the fire
and the steam
that gives me form,
creates this reality
I call my life.
Villain and victim,
I play this game,
outside and inside.
Until the day
the waters
that cleanse
also birth
my new fragmented
yet ancient soul.

I contemplate.
The youth’s
wide eyes
that see clearly
and yet not.
And the aged’s
vision poor
and yet not.
Each day,
a little closer
to the end of the story.
My melting face
and body
has never felt
more comfortable
to me.
The only regret.
That I abandoned her,
who was my only
true friend.
So today
and forever
I walk and
laugh with her,
until she turns to
wax and ash.
Solace
as deep as the ocean,
knowing the mother
will envelop her.
And she will cease
and yet not.

“The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you.”
~ Vanna Bonta

I bathe
in the purity
of a mother’s love
for her child,
emerging fresh
and new
as the first day.
The sweat,
that became tears,
became the wisdom
I drank from.
I taste you
and hear you
and watch you
to learn.
The key to life.
I empty
and fill
and empty again.
Until I am you.

“Nature is more depth than surface, the colours are the expressions on the surface of this depth; they rise up from the roots of the world.”

Neighbourhood Art Deco beauty.
🧡🏺🌴

My most prized possessions are nature treasures such as this. I cover my space with delicate leaves and special rocks that bring the earth into my home. When I was convalescing post Covid, I am most certain that the beauty surrounding me with these precious friends, kept me from going mad, as I couldn’t leave my bed for months. And growing up in the stark prairies 🌾 never a day goes by that I don’t appreciate the grandeur of the West Coast nature.

This exquisite beauty, I found on a walk a few weeks ago. I love its delicacy and also its oddness. A small branch embedded and emerging from a wasp’s paper home. No wasps were made homeless with this acquisition, as I found it on the sidewalk! 🐝 🌲
