My perspective here.
I am the poet and writer of this blog, married to my DH Ueli, and mom of two teenagers with two cats. We live on a farm in Switzerland, in a very old house which we are renovating.
For over 35 years I've been writing poetry, and delving into photography within the past 10 years. If you're curious about the site, please follow the 'about' link.

and flow of Life,
a river of words
pass by.

This past week should have been the start of summer vacation with luxurious feeling of freedom from the constraints of work. I say should have been because two things occurred that didn’t allow for that but caused me to harvest…

Witness When the very rocks and stones cry out The rivers and trees clap hands they don’t have How can I remain silent? The vault of the sky and firmament of earth Proclaim of a wondrous Creator. How is…
