The towhee has returned
its unmistakable harsh call pierces the air
The osprey back to claim her nest
high on the old bridge pilons
Hues of green and yellow mingle
as trees leaf out, enlivening the roadsides
Some mystery moves through us as well
coursing through veins
awakening cells with new energy
Our step and breath quicken
as all around us bursts forth in life

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.
