I choose and protect my right to be in wonder.
It is a wonderful place to chance upon, to arrive at.
It is a place where defences drop.
Where I surrender to something tiny, expansive, vast, fleeting, still and forever.

Walking with my camera
Without ‘seeking to capture’.
Things, situations, appear and we
say hello, only just now, in this moment, in this light and time.

Please don’t tell me where to look to find it.
Please don’t tell me what I should feel where.
Let it arrive. descend. behold me.

Even if we stand, sit, hold a silent gasp in collective wonder.
I want to taste it with you. And
Alone.
Selfish. Greedy. Satiated.
Grateful to be alone, and together.
