Peace

Loose Leaves – Remembrance

 

 

Finding peace –

amid the mudflats

Mulberry Harbour.

All Things

Loose Leaves – Reflections

Charles Darwin's Finches (Britannica)

 

 

To each their own

modification in all things

– Darwin’s finches.

The Rebel

Loose Leaves – Looking Back

 

Albert Camus writes in L’Homme révolté (1951) that: “Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.”

 

 

Plus ça change,

plus c’est la même chose -

Je m’oppose aux deux.

 

(The more things change,

the more they remain the same -

I object to both.)

Our Slow Meander

Loose Leaves – Art Inspired

 

Hiroshi Yoshida - A Garden by Lake Biwa (1933)

That feeling when some moments seem like they could last forever …

 

 

Making the most of

our slow meander –

the silence in-between.

Winter Wind

Loose Leaves – Looking Back

 

 

This photograph was taken, and poem written on the day before the first snow fell on Mount Fuji this year: 28 October 2026.

 

 

Black triangles

beneath sky blue –

cut-glass wind.

Sea & Sky

Loose Leaves – Reflections

 

 

Circling the sea

and sky –

a lone albatross.

 

 

 

Autumn Reds

Loose Leaves – Art Inspired

 

Emma Haworth - Autumn Reflections

 

Somehow expanding

within itself –

Autumn redshift.
