Creme Earl Grey
It is fragrant in here,
behind the diamond-shaped
glass, under the white tin
cover, spiraled to finality
(at least for now). Black leaves
nestle curls into curls,
brush against lavender
and pearlescent petals, suspended
until a hand brings water
and vanilla-hungry air.

“Many of the Indigenous languages don’t have a word for ‘work,’ so they have borrowed ours. We don’t like to think of our profession as ‘work’ - it sort of implies you’d rather be doing something else. Naturally we are not exempt from these feelings, but being our own masters gives us the liberty to put the tools down and walk away.” Aaron.
“Let me show you how a story can transform your life.” Petra
Cuddly Koala
Koala’s not a teddy bear, Although he looks the part … He munches eucalyptus leaves, And captivates our hearts.
Frances King
My River runs to thee –
Blue Sea – Wilt welcome me?
My River wait reply.
Oh Sea – look graciously!
I’ll fetch thee Brooks
From spotted nooks –
Say Sea – take Me?
