Backyard Wilderness
I share my cozy corner with a number of others, they're mostly quiet although sometimes they get too noisy, particularly the heavy caws of the crows and the unremitting gurgles of the pigeons that have found a food source now the city areas are quiet. The cozy corner is many things: a place to relax, to write, to dream, to exercise, to observe, to re-wild but also a place of the mundane – the washing line stands front and centre, reminding always of the never ending drudgery of housework.

The Ocean's Call
I don’t remember when I changed from a water baby into a scaredy cat landlubber. Maybe it had to do with the move to a foreign territory or was it the wave that turned me upside down as if to say escape from my clutches is impossible. Whatever happened it left me scared of the infinite power of the water and a lover of wintertime when the beaches closed. Despite my avowed winter lover pronouncements, I remained drawn to the ocean, to her power, her mystery and her magic. Intimidated yet jealous of the surfers with their toned wet suited bodies and boards under the arm, living each day with seemingly no other cares than the waves. I would sit on the edge of the beach and watch them – longing to be a part of their world but so very frightened of what that would entail.
