Sitting on the balcony at 3 am praying for a soft breeze. Leaves are still, hardly a waver until a sudden breeze makes one believe there is more to come. Times like this, makes more sense to set up a cot and sleep under the elm. It’s a special time, this week for her. Summer solstice falls close to her mother’s birthday, June 22nd. It is as if the moon is glowing in celebration of a blessed soul.

canicule en juin
rien de mieux pour apaiser
une nuit blanche
éclat d’une lune quasi pleine
solstice d’été

June heatwave
nothing better to pacify
sleepless night
glow of a moon almost full
summer solstice

water runs its course
ripples from north winds
mother earth’s grey allure
moments before sunrise

Since the spring of 2015 butterflies seemed to appear in thickets, on city streets and rested calmly so she could admire the colours of her wings. She often wondered if this was her mother visiting or another soul from another life.

wings of a butterfly
her new-found-friend

Divine’s creation

a new house needs
dollops of harmony
buckets of love
painting every wall
draping each window

traces of you
fragrance of each of you –now!
you may call it “HOME”

A friend and colleague is leaving the workplace nest…time to discover other adventures.  Although she will be terribly missed, it is such an exciting journey ahead.

absorbing nature’s bounty
waits at the crossroad
drenched in strength and symmetry
