Enough

Shelter guard trust facade
Property hard fuss bard
Where here always a way
Say be, neigh see
Allow annoy coy Troy
Breakdown frown mourn torn
Here now allow bow
Arrow shoot suit duet
And it is then that i feel and know
Between you and me
Relative joy or sorrow
All that I borrow
While I search for me
Free done freedom
Liberated satiated done with the sun
And I lie in the sand and cloud bust
Pure Oblivion

Cloud busting - intend more of that
Be
Without apology
Like the tree I cannot name
That damned me with rotting compost-moist mosquito companions
Doing a job
Blessed
I held my back close against its bark
Remarked and marvelled at its faith to stand and grow and thrive and live right here
Unapologetic
Worthy
Unjustified
Not right
Not wrong
Presence alone gentle and constant
Enough

On his retirement. A tribute to a legend

Veterinarian & human extraordinaire. 50 years of true service to the animal world, the animal people, and to his animal-loving family.  Four siblings all who care significantly for animals as a result of the way we were raised.  To respect life.  Because that is who our father his.  Our father is more than a vet.  He is a compassionate man.  A vet who took his oath to care for animals to the greatest level, inspiring those close and around him to do the same.  Caring so deeply.  Working so hard.  Ensuring that he always did his best.  He has such depth and wisdom.  He has always had a following of people in his life who he wisely guides.  His generosity is boundless.  He has inspired his children way more than can be imagined.  We are pretty sure there are not many people who are so fortunate to have this example of humble love to follow.  We are equally unsure whether we can truly honour his example by dupli...

celebrating a 21 year old

21 years ago today I had been working at Sea World in Durban for just four months.  And I was priveleged to witness the birth of a baby dolphin.  I was even more honoured to be taken under the wing of a senior trainer to work with the mother and calf from the time of the birth.  Wow can be the only word to describe this experience.  I was new to all of this, and had this little creature to care for, and get to know.  Suffice is to say he stole my heart, lock stock and soul.  His name is Jula.  I cannot describe the gratitude I feel for being a part of Jula's life.  He is an angel.  A gem, and master, a teacher, a gentle soul who knows so much more than I ever will.   Heartfelt life time gratitude to his mother Frodo and father Gambit, and happy birthday to the heart thief, Jula.  Love you angel!!!
