The fog moves on...

The fog moves on...
Carl Sandburg
To understand any living thing, you must, so to say, creep within and feel the beating of its heart.
~ William (W.) MacNeile Dixon
from The Human Situation: The Gifford lectures delivered in the University of Glasgow, 1935-1937 (1937).

AWAKE AUGUST 2016

AWAKE AUGUST 2016
the dirt coloured bones of an old narrow boat /brambles with white/pink flowers, nettles /a swan turns in the dark water - Kaspalita

Small Stones

an old man swinging his arms in the bus shelter
a few spots of rain

- Kaspa Thompson - Buddhist priest 17.1.14

today's weather report:
wet pawprints on the coffee table
- Helen's River of Stones 16.1.14

Peach coloured dawn,
clouds rush by dragging
a heavy grey blanket.
Barometer plummets.
- By the Wobbly Dum-Dum Tree 18.12.13

In this garden
I will find peace
between each landslide
- A small stone Gathering 2.7.13

Like a curtain descending on the close of an act, the chorus of the cicadas drops steadily day by day. They do not chorus in the rain, but the bull-frogs do.
- Ashtoreth Eldritch 10.6.13

*********************************************
raindrops, few but emphatic -
somewhere between pinpricks
and poking fingers
- Jean Morris - Awake August 2016

*********************************************
Sipping memories from a cup of hot coffee - morning vibrations.
- Claudia Messolodi - Awake August 2016

*********************************************
my work clothes hang
on the back of the door
ready for tomorrow
I am not
- Wendy Lee Young - Awake August 2016

*********************************************
Tai chi on back deck.
Spider silks sway
between trees.
- Sue Blott - Awake August 2016

*********************************************
on the back of a truck,
workmen dump building debris,
haphazardly –
outside the art gallery
- Lonnard Dean Watkins - Awake August 2016

*********************************************
Graced by the company of trees, the blinding beauty of blades of summer grass, the hummingbird's hello.
- Leslie Bullock - Awake August 2016

*********************************************
my Olivetti sings
as one by one
through an inked ribbon
metal letters impress
these thoughts on paper
all meant for her
- Rouch Swalwe - Awake August 2016

*********************************************
Sifting through the rocks, sticks and shells of summer walks. Story keepers for the winter ahead.
- Gelli Ma - Awake August 2016

*********************************************
sun overhead –
the dazzling light
the silhouette
collide
- Jean Morris - Awake August 2016
