The bo/peepul is now a predominant feature in my inner landscape.
It is a sacred tree, connected to Hinduism and Buddhism.
It is a tree that teaches us forgiveness, resilience and mortality. It is the . . .

For many of us, a sacred place might be the forest near where we live, or the quiet creek where we sit down for a quiet time. Likewise, it could be a tiny garden filled with nature's goodness or a . . .

Wolf.
Woman.

Wolf-woman.
Woman-wolf.
Who am I?
Am I a wolf
Pretending to be a woman
Or a woman pretending to be a wolf?

With the fast urbanization of Singapore, many traditions are rapidly fading away. A lot of traditional businesses give way to the efficiency of cookie-cutter machinery. It is tragic to watch, because . . .

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

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!
But it is . . .

Just shine on me.

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 am covered in fruit,
Citrus and succulent berries -
Fragrant with lemongrass,
Clad in melons,
Cornucopia in the city.
Urban Gaia,
In jeans and cotton tees.

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...
Beetle in my hair!

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

age-old wisdom, grounded with
luminous truth:
drink deep, . . .

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
into streams and rivulets
softly laughing . . .

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? . . .
