dry stone
The gradual emergence from the mountainous terrain, gives way to relief from the presence of wild boars and roaming dogs.

kite flyers
The act of flying kites, within the customs of numerous cultures, is an intriguing tradition to explore. Curiously, these kites remain stationary in the expanse of the sky, their motion confined solely to the rotation of the spindle as it propels them aloft. No elaborate stunts, aerial acrobatics, or exhilarating swishing sounds, the essence of … Continue reading “kite flyers”









smoke pits
Annually, I find myself at the smoke pits, a site where a collective, including myself and others, congregate. At the cauldrons, we engage in the act of casting our wishes and notions into the fire blaze, envisioning them as moments for personal growth, expansion, and self-improvement. While I have experienced similar settings in the past, it is … Continue reading “smoke pits”

Instead, they can be found in conversations with their flocks, equipped with their mobile devices and traversing dusty villages. It becomes evident that these huts serve a primarily symbolic purpose, intended to convey an image … Continue reading “hut on the mountain”

man combing woman’s hair
6am every morning, an elderly couple walk the same path, the same direction, the same distance. They stop at the same place and the man combs the womans’ hair, six combs, then they continue their walk out of the park. For all their lives they have never held hands or have shown any tenderness, but this daily … Continue reading “man combing woman’s hair”

Ash
Ash, in its presence, surrounds us. In the cycle of life’s progression, it serves as a final destination for most. The culmination manifests as a heap, desiccated and deposited here upon the very streets we traverse. This state of ash symbolizes an indelible position held within the collective consciousness, an enduring presence firmly established prior to … Continue reading “Ash”

The train has now come to rest, peacefully reclining within this gentle countryside’s terrain. In countless times before, the train observed the quickness of the surrounding vistas, longing for the respite of reclining and simply being. This robust, rapid, and efficient inanimate object has now succumbed to slumber, finding tranquility atop the grass, which envelops its … Continue reading “train on its side”
