Sand and rocks
roots crossing
long pine needles
the color of rust
walking
thoughts tumbling
watching the river
so sure
constantly on
patterns in the whitewater
changing, rearranging
never stopping
merganser in the eddy
calm water
so deep
breathing
slowing down
seeing beauty Radha
About Me
- Radha
- I am a recently retired Kootenay gal (after almost 40 years in health care)How amazing to have the freedom to choose how I spend my time. I dedicate a lot of it to my home and property; tending fruit trees, vegetable, herb and flower gardens and mucking with a small pond where I am entertained by fish.I call it Tall Trees, an appropriate name, surrounded as it is by mostly large cedars and firs. I am often visited by elk and deer and the occasional bear and take total joy in all the birds and their songs. I share the place with my two cats. Other frequent visitors are my daughter and two grand children. Writing is another passion and now more time to read all manner of books. I am fortunate to have found spiritual community in both a Sufi and Dances of Universal Peace circle. I am one of several leaders of the dances in the Nelson area. I try to take time for outdoor recreation, biking the rail bed, swimming and canoeing the rivers and walking along them. Although winter is a more inward time, I get out on snowshoes and with a snow shovel and enjoy the beauty of each new snowfall. I have recently joined a writing group. Singing may be next.
