Spirals and tightens and frightens
me.
Heart
the core of this centrifugal vortex.
Squeezed.
Embody
the feelings and experience emotion.
Observe
tenderly.
Acknowledge and place them down
carefully.
Walk away.

17.09.2013 – On starting my masters….
One of a roomful of eager disciples I strain for every
word and
nuance.
Thirty two of us sitting in this one studio have
travelled
from parts far across the world and not so far;
Some have waited for years for
THIS.
THIS is the beginning of a deep and complex journey into
‘self’.
All of us aware of the adventures ahead of us and
some a little
afraid.
In smaller groups we create an image of self.
How intimate this is
and how exposing
too.
Revealing me to the
world.
05/09/13 – Tim kissed my hand
Jim kissed my hand today when he came through the door.
Something more,
in fact he kissed my hand,
then pressed his forehead to it.
A gesture
of supplication or love?
or surrender
to something above
and beyond his control.
The tumour in Jim’s head takes up too much space now.
I wonder how
long we have him with us to make us laugh
with his funny faces
and sometimes
inappropriate behaviour.
Or fits.
I cannot forget his age
is the same as that of my son Tom.
19/09/13 – Physallis franchetii
Physallis franchetii hang,
bright, orange paper lanterns.
Chrysanthamum globes glowing.
Both sight the end of the year.
Light beams.
