images from the path of love











The Journey

Above the mountains
the geese turn into
the light again

painting their
black silhouettes
on an open sky.

sometimes everything
has to be
enscribed across the heavens
so you can find
the one line
already written
inside you

sometimes it takes
a great sky
to find that
small, bright
and indescribable
wedge of freedom
in your own heart

sometimes with
the bones of the black
sticks left when the fire
has gone out

someone has written
something new
in the ashes
of your life.

you are not leaving
you are arriving

Lady Carrington Drive










What a wonderful day we had the day we took a walk along Lady Carrington Drive. We visited an amazing cave just 1.6 k's off the Lady Carrington Drive/walk up into the hills. The kids were very brave and drank from the water fall and we all caught droplets of water in our mouths the plashes spilt over the mouth of the cave and into our mouths... crisp fresh air and natures sweet purified water.

This brought a tear to my eyes

Last night

Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt- marvelous error!-
That a spring was breaking
Out in my heart.
I said: Along which secret aqueduct,
Oh water, are you coming to me,
Water of a new life
That I have never drunk?

Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt- marvelous error!-
That I had a beehive
Here inside my heart.
And the golden bees
Were making white combs
And sweet honey
From my old failures.

Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt- marvelous error!-
That a fiery sun was giving
Light inside my heart.
It was fiery because I felt
Warmth as from a hearth,
And sun because it gave light
And brought tears to my eyes.

Last night, as I slept,
I dreamt- marvelous error!-
That it was God I had
Here inside my heart.
