Concrete beneath my paws,
Click click against unfeeling stone –
A wolf under a human mask,
A woman face:
Hidden under layers.
A wolf’s howl cuts through concrete,
This urban jungle steaming . . .

Heart leaf pressed on my chest -

Note: Trying to get my little 3 year-old to take a short nap is turning into a "my will versus your will" tug-of-war.
Oh, little wolf -
showing your teeth and standing your ground,
Like the . . .

Buddha's tree -
heart-shaped leaves in the sun.
Teach me about mortality
and resilience,
because living in the city is not

It is a generalization to say that Singapore does not have seasons. Or that she has hot and wet monsoon seasons.
Just look very carefully at the plants. They react to the minute shifts to the weather . . .

I feel like a LOLcat. You know, the pictures of cats with funny words. At the moment, it is "I is silly. Gotz side-tracked!"
Phew. I feel really silly for writing in that fashion!

Inspired by - yes - Johnny and the Sprites.
Wake up, old slumbering Earth -
Wake up and stretch forth your shoots,
Your little germinating seeds, your little bulbs.
Let them push out from the . . .

I love the written word. Heck, I love language - the sounds, the textures and the compositions of it. I write and for a while, I was an editor.
I also love teaching and have taught in mainstream Singapore . . .

I wove a beetle into my hair,
a tiny cousin of the mighty scarab:
poor thing, flying in from the cool night air.
I lifted my hand up, touched something
warm and hard...

flowering -
abundant now, laden with
blooms:
beautiful herald, speaker

Certain bird species appear in my life at certain times or I am drawn towards them in one way or the other. They are interwoven into the tapestry of nature surrounding me, first during the time of my childhood . . .

I am still trembling with anger. The feeling of being encroached on, the feeling of my privacy being invaded. The forest is my private place. And there are poachers poaching .
This forest . . .

touch the earth,
feel its warmth -
the sky's tears pooling beneath
seeking fingers sinking
into the velvet water
while it flows, it flows

I love taking pictures, especially about moments of spirituality. I love the different aspects of worship and spirituality in people and how these are expressed. Be it under a tree or in the sanctity . . .

Pre-Samhain meditation.
Gaze at the water, the surface mirror-like and clear. What do I see? Go in deeper - questions arise. What have I done this time? What am I going to discard and rise anew again? . . .

The trees are wise. They teach us the cycles of time. They also teach us wisdom. In many cultures, trees are often the bearers of wisdom and knowledge. Listen, particularly, to the older trees . . .
