Cooks Delight

Cooks Delight
Where does
Imagination, travel
And intrigue meet?
Between the pages
Of a dog-eared book!
Read it or write it

Riddles of Nature

Riddles of nature captivate me. One that has been with me forever is sand. The breaking down of mountains, the creation of shores, beaches, and the action of the ocean.
I remember when I was in my thirties walking along the beach explaining my awe at the connectivity of life to a fellow roamer. The process of building up mountains and islands popping out above the oceans. The reverse process of erosion to sand. Standing on the beach as the waves washed away the sand with the tide, I let my toes act as a sieve, filtering the larger pebbles from the grains.

As days go by

As days go by
Old becomes new again
Memory lane mixes
With new faces
What we were
Becomes what we are
We continue
As days go by

A Spoonful of Sugar

A Spoonful of Sugar
Sweet laughter
Brightens the day
Written in the non-existent rule book
Never take yourself too seriously
Joy is life's sugar

Storm of Transitions

Storm of Transitions
Just before..
Water laden clouds
Anticipation..
Crackling air
Balance gone
Black clouds
Confusion reigns
Sky clears
Wind dies to a breeze
You wonder about worry
Now gone
Untangle the debris
Arrive

Team Talents

Team Talents
Recognize the attributes
Of Artists
They seem beyond
Your imagination
Pull the story with-in
Out with visions

Before the Scene is Set

Before the Scene is Set
The mind visualizes
PUlls pieces from
Experience
Taste, touch, smell
The look ignites
The senses
The heart savors meaning
A bowl of comfort

What you see
How you feel
Changes
With a good night sleep

As a Traveler

As a traveler, many people ask me what is my favorite country to visit? I don’t know how to answer as each country and place enters my heart differently. I seek out the unique and the mundane, which sometimes is the same.
The trick to thoroughly enjoying oneself, is to accept what is and not make comparisons to others or expectations.
Traditionally in Fiji, a stranger must receive a welcoming ceremony in order to enter the tribal villages.

What Awaits

What Awaits
Adventure lies
Within the covers
Of the unknown.
A blanket of possibilities
A casual conversation
A twist in the road
A hand reaching out
The unknown uncovers
An adventure
