I mentioned in my post ‘They’re Only clouds…‘ that I enjoy capturing beautiful moments in my life, holding those memories for recall when I need it most.

One example of this is the peaceful, serenity of a hilltop… When I’m standing in the strong winds looking down on a valley I feel a perspective shift that allows me the freedom to think more creatively and objectively about life’s challenges. I love to spend time living these moments in the Peaks and Lakes of England, and the Hills and Mountains of Wales and Scotland…

Then, when I need clarity… I close my eyes and feel the strong winds once more.

Below is a Tanka that briefly expresses this.

Birds Eye

My feet stride the path
Upward to the hills zenith
Dwelling out of time
High and Free with graceful hawk
Life below seen clear and bright
