a welcoming embrace
there is a grace within the spirit
of your wild and rugged beauty
a grandeur
in the immensity of your mountains deep and high
you inspire stepping out of time
a spaciousness settles in
expands
an embrace so complete
that the wild
becomes
who
I am

ReplyDeleteMr McIver said it was a "terrible accident" which tarnished the reputation of all hunters.
ReplyDeleteRosemary Ives was killed while brushing her teeth at a campsite near Kaimanawa Rd, about 20km south of Turangi, around midnight on Friday.
Mr De Waal was told a hunter had mistaken her for a deer.
My spirit soars into the majesty of your pictures.
ReplyDeleteMy soul soars into the embrace of your words.
I think maybe we all have a little of the wild inside us.
Beautiful place. Great shots.
