mindful stone - 14 January 2013

calm harbour

sliced in half

by the rain

mindful stone - 13 January 2013

on the television news,

bush fires in Australia;
outside –
heavy rain falls

mindful stone - 11 January 2013

passing a billboard

advertising an air show

images of fighter planes —

beauty masking their true nature

 

mindful stone - 10 January 2013

street performers
Dire Straits drown out
Bob Dylan

mindful stone - 9 January 2013

cold rain,

clouds part,

blue sky,

a leaf falls ,

on this —

summer morning

mindful stone - 8 January 2013

people standing

on almost every street corner

looking down at a street map —

a cruise ship has docked

mindful stone - 7 January 2013

ancient eastern tradition

balancing rocks and stones

modern western shortcut

cement and wire

mindful stone - 6 January 2013

the vagrant spider
looked cross 
at being disturbed

mindful stone - 5 January 2013

shortening shadows
garden implements
lay idle
popping pine cones
startle a small bird

mindful stone - 4 January 2013

buying a suit,

the young shop assistant

talks with an accent,

either from the playing fields of Eaton,

or over exposure to Downtown Abby

mindful stone - 3 January 2013

first working day of the new year

the traffic is not in a rush

mindful stone - 2 January 2013

the northerly wind

arouses the noisy trees

mindful stone - 1 January 2013

a conversation of birds
sitting on the telephone line
