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).

Like a brilliant sapphire...
Like a brilliant sapphire...
Dawn light glistening
On an ebony curtain
The first kookaburra laughs
In the distance

In the dark outside...
In the dark outside
Whining wind whirls
I feel like a tiny bobbin
Being wound and
Wound

When a morning frizzles...
When a morning frizzles...
When the coffee spills and
The cereal sogs
When a trip over the cat
Launches a flying clunk with the glass door
Take a quiet walk in Nature with
Proper walking shoes...

Seeking a mantra...
Seeking a mantra in
The chants of Nature
Sheep grazing
Cows drifting to their morning milking
Piccolo rings of rosellas
Classical sighs of winds
Brushing tall yellow grasses
Ohm's in a soft minor chord

Yesterday...
Yesterday
There were no harps in my midnights
Only a double bass
Plucking...
But that was yesterday...

If you want to understand...
If you want to understand
The art of meditation
Watch the stillness of a cat on a chair
For awhile...
Meditation
A weeping veil...
A weeping veil of morning mists
The illusion of feeling grey

From winter shoes...
From winter shoes
Liquid shades of vermilion
Stream hungry curls into the winds
The fire
In my soul
Understands

Tender pink...
Tender pink
Blue and grey
Dawn surf
Crimping to the mountain shoreline
Inked with a shield of
Scavenger wings

Rubies and diamonds...
Rubies and diamonds in the mist
Sad, synthetic gems on the freeway

Shearing time...
Shearing time
Trees must bow to
Power lines

Walking...
Walking
Sipping mellow Autumn sunlight
A tiny little old lady
Shirley Temple curls
Passed by
Smiling
And wished me
A wonderful day

Ducks stir...
Ducks stir ripples on a pond
Reflection colours stream into
Pulsing silk
Tiny tractor train...
Tiny tractor train at Point Nepean
No walls
Intimate cruise to land's end
Fluttering sleepy...
Fluttering sleepy eyelashes/ Wispy pink eyeshadow/
Morning mists

My bills continually...
My bills continually exceed my bank savings/
Yet I feel blessed to be rich in spirit
TWEETERISED
I'm not possessed...
I'm not possessed by pretentious platitudes

Churned froth and bubble...
Churned froth and bubble/ Addictive dark aromas/
Kitchen morning song
TWITTERISED
I am a patch...
I am a patch of pastel grey Autumn water today
Bathed in a little golden first light
Like a crucible of
Limpid
Swelling
