It’s been one of those weeks where distraction, tiredness and collecting thoughts to write something more substantial weren’t going to happen.
After another weather event, which we happily survived, I consider us lucky that the storm ex-cyclone didn’t cause more havoc or loss of life. I do love Mel from Life One Big Adventure‘s saying, “I’m a lucky duck,” and we were lucky ducks last weekend.
This week, my mind wanders back to a time when there were fewer storms about, and I could get out tramping, eating my lunch, and staring up into the sky and canopy to admire those gorgeous, tremendous gods of the forest, the mighty kauri.
A tree
A focus
A place
to rest weary eyes
For a moment.
When the world is blurred brutal
consider carefully your viewpoint.
Follow a kauri's simple form.
In a time of temperatures rising
feel the stones strongly cool
Your feet.
Firmly gripping Aotearoa.
