Time for a timely update.
I gave birth on the 1st of August (Lammas!) to a healthy baby girl whom we have named Natasha. The birth was relatively uneventful for an elective Caesarean section. I did . . .

There is a fig tree in the center of our family courtyard. It has been with our family for generations, providing basketfuls of sweet-fleshed figs year after year. Celebrations are held under its peridot . . .

There is a tree right smack in the middle of an empty fragment of unused land. It is a large wattle tree, blooming golden-yellow in the right season with adequate sunlight and water.
It might . . .

Life is a journey, as they always say. And currently, my life-path is filled with adventure, a bit of trepidation and a sense of optimism. The path ebbs and flow - and each mistake I make a lesson, each . . .

Things past, things present,
Influx of current and history:
Like a river, it will only move forward,
Curling the stones of thought beneath
And chevrons of the future in the making.
Things past, . . .

Right in the middle of the town square, a dream place consisting of an old haunt from my childhood, was a large circular shrine, dedicated to neko/cats. It had weathered stone steps leading up to the main . . .

Paws in black loam.
Sniffing - humus, humid, humility.
Lips curl over sharp canines,
Amber pools, mini lunar discs.
Fungi, mushroom, decay, rot.
Growth, damp, germinating, seething.

Am I willing to take those steps –
Hesitant journeywoman on this path?
Am I frightened of the desert –
Bare and acrid with nothing to love?
Am I seeking the spring, . . .

Oh deep dark compost, so rich with nutrients, of the Earth's goodness. A combination of things we do not want, the debris, the junk, the leftovers, the bits-and-pieces. We throw them in and they break . . .

She dropped onto the soft sand, panther-quiet, a dark shadow slipping in the shadows of the large hangar. She hid beneath the large silver fighter planes. Birds of death, her people called them. Birds . . .

You walked under the sheltering boughs of cedar.
You strode beneath the acacias, barefoot, silent.
You danced around the pomegranates, tasting their ruby sweetness.
You touched the olive trees laden . . .

My soul is wild, filled with . . .

I have recently gone back to drumming again. I myself play the bodhran, though a little unorthodox - I play it either with a mallet or with my hands (as if I am playing on a tar).

Moon bathed land,
Silver-kissed, luna sea:
Wolf moon, hunting moon -
Satellite no more, but
Heart of the wild,
Expressed in fur emerging from human skin,
Ephemeral transformation electric . . .
