Now we have a new little man to tug at your heartstrings…
I wish you could meet…
Pick flowers…
Knit them toys and jumpers…
Make cupcakes…
Have special conversations…
I try to be you, Mum – every day, for them.
To all the mums out there, have a really wonderfulMother’s Day.

Lovely – on this lovely Mother’s Day.
The pitter patter of love’s droplets
sprinkled upon our cheeks
should show you
that there is so much more
than cannot be explained by science
or astronomy, in atoms, molecules
or the idiosyncrasies of man
in his perfect condition.
On blue-gray evenings
when constellations collide
and lovers
simultaneously combust
from the sheer delight
of the other’s pulsing promises,
soft waves of spiritual movement
create a transformation
in the quiet atmosphere of us.

If you can help…
The baby southern white rhino was abandoned by mom and found by the Ol Pejeta team when he was only 2 weeks old. Very sick and barely alive, he has made an amazing recovery with the help of caretakers.
Named Ringo, after rhino advocate Ringo Starr, he has been introduced to Sudan, the last male northern white rhino on the planet. The two make quite the pair. Click below to watch more:

Any director who values character ‘first and foremost’… has my vote. This is a must see! Thanks for bringing it to my attention, C.J.

Photo from cover of ‘Rail Tales’
Young woman sits
while an old man stands.
She gazes through layers
of foundation.
Does it screen
the opposite wall?
Can’t she read the
“Who are you fooling?”
Fake fur-collared jacket
and label shoes.
Large black leather bag
clutched to protect her
– it doesn’t – she’s mean!
The old man has turned
his neat and clean
but well-worn back
and solidly sways,
not expecting courtesy.
