every day i get a poem in my emailbox from the lovely people at Panhala.
this is today's - enjoy :)
Fire
What makes a fire burn
is space between the logs,
a breathing space.
Too much of a good thing,
too many logs
packed in too tight
can douse the flames
almost as surely
as a pail of water would.
So building fires
requires attention
to the spaces in between,
as much as to the wood.
When we are able to build
open spaces
in the same way
we have learned
to pile on the logs,
then we can come to see how
it is fuel, and absence of the fuel
together, that make fire possible.
We only need to lay a log
lightly from time to time.
A fire
grows
simply because the space is there,
with openings
in which the flame
that knows just how it wants to burn
can find its way.

inspired by sue, the other day i joined the Everyday Matters yahoo group. 
I am not a has-been, I am a will-be.
Everything is speaking if we listen. A rock just talks slower. It takes a hundred years for it to say one syllable. We're not around long enough to hear what it has to say.

Creativity is life's insurance, because if you instil creativity in the smallest children, they will have no fear, because they can improvise... It's about a very subtle way to think and to realize, if this doesn't work, then i can solve things in another way; confidence and flexibility. 
... this is how i'm feeling today...

Went to a wonderful exhibition yesterday at the Harley Gallery to see the magical creations of Nora Fok.
