Edelweiss: courage – “I squared my body and took a breath.”

This is an unworldly world. It starts its transition at 4 o’clock every morning, night watchmen and owls do not notice, the transition from one veneer to another is so seamless. This world is a secret, numbers and digits tapped into an alien super computer, our habits and hidden selves within written in binary rhythms corresponding to an approximation. An eye may flicker or a brain may sense an outside force manipulating its ticks and stems. The program moves into overdrive out of recognition.

Clematis: present moment - “At that very moment I felt alive…”

I decided to do a half marathon race

To fill in some time and space

It was to be a sponsored run

Supporting Cancer research

For charity and supported by colleagues

and friends.

Almond blossom – Hope

I went down to the beach at the start of my holiday. I enjoyed the sunshine and felt happy walking along the beach there were quite a lot of people by the seaside all enjoying themselves. I decided to hire a deckchair to sit and to relax and felt happy in the sunshine.

Edelweiss: Courage  “I squared my body and took a breath…”

I squared my body to the expanding horizon, overwhelmed by the light that blinded my eyes, there was nothing to see. I had to go forward there was no other choice but to follow instructions from a loud shouting voice. I felt like a sailor on the edge of the world, if I reached the horizon I would surely fall off. I squared my body and took a deep breath.

Almond Blossom: Hope “I stepped out into the clear, blue air…”

In a care free and lovable world
The cobbled streets are full of paving stones
they lead to a gay meadow where the clear air leaves me contented.

Baby’s breath: happiness ”I woke up in sun struck mountains”

The water I drank was fresh and clean.
It made a little path down my throat
And made me feel bright
When the clear water enters the body it makes me feel rosy like a field full of flowers and also my curiosity is aroused. 
There is nothing like a glass of water!

Baby’s breath: happiness ”I woke up in sun struck mountains.”

Majestic in their pose, reigning over a kingdom. 
The contrast from night to sudden day, as though an immense tarpaulin had been lifted to reveal a delicate underneath.  
I stretch my arms across the horizon and tilt my head back, catching shards of sun shrapnel in my eyes.  
Orange imprints dance in mockery on the mountain faces, the opening sequence to the unknown day ahead.
