A view on our summer holiday in December 2019 in  the South Island of NZ

This fantail circled a few times around my head and landed once briefly 😀

Time

Time disappears into nothingness,
like soft sand cupped in your hands,
gliding through your fingers,
reuniting with a vast mass
of a thousand grains.

Slow down—slow down.
Don’t let it all slip and swiftly flow.
Take time by the hand,
hold it tenderly.

Walk and see the world
with the eyes of a child.
Watch the clouds dance in the sky,
be in awe of a golden twilight.
Let the twinkle in an eye
make you smile.
Be fond of the fantail
fluttering around.

Let time take you with her.
Be like a soft stream lapping.
Be the wild water—
bending seamlessly
around every stone.

Accept all that comes,
and let it flow, let it flow slow,
until you reach the river mouth
and become one with the ocean—
where thirst for time drops deep.

There is your harbour.
There is your home.
