nature – One Woman's Quest

Spellbound

The view outside my window this morning is pure gold. It’s our Canadian Thanksgiving and my mood matches the tone.

The warmth of family coming together, the gift of thoughtful gestures from friends, the wonder of Nature letting go in a blaze of colour: all golden.

Hope you are able to find the gold in your day.

Is it the stillness
of the rock pool
that draws me
again and again?

Authority eludes –
is not my own –
I dodge hawk-eyed
critics, am weighted
down…struggling
to resurface…

Crave tranquil
company, a chance
to breathe…
unseen…
Nature always the key
