Wildflowers

 

Wildflowers

 

Gently caressed by the breeze,

and sought after by the bees.

Wildflowers blossom and indefinably relate,

to the potential beauty of human fate.

There is a selection of my art on canvas and other mediums available in my Bonanza Shop here.

 

I have two self-help stories available exclusively on Amazon, either on the Kindle or paperback, and I do hope that you find them interesting, thought-provoking, and, most of all, enjoyable: -

 

The Rock Philosophy

This simply written short story is aimed at those who seek to understand themselves, and through understanding themselves comes a greater understanding of life. 

 

The Life of Jesus

(as witnessed by his brother)

Much has been written about Jesus, and no matter your view on religion or Christianity, this person, whether he was as described in the bible or not, has singularly shaped, to a greater or lesser extent, the lives we lead today through his wisdom. There are many versions of the story, but there is only one truth, and is it not better to know the truth?

And you will find an excellent read in this story by my son Colin, and it is here.

 
 

Smokey and the Rabbit

 Tenerife Sunset

 

Smokey and the Rabbit

 

Our first cat in Tenerife was called Smokey, we purchased him when he was a kitten from a pet shop. Now just in case you are wondering what about cat rescues, we had already been to K9, the local cat and dog rescue and they had two kittens who were feral.

 

Smokey was a loving cat who had a problem, he didn’t like using a litter tray. We thought he may have been separated from his mother to early and hadn’t been taught by her to use a litter tray.

The apartment we were living in had an adjoining apartment with a low wall separating our balconies.  When our neighbours were on holiday, Smokey had been using their balcony as a litter tray and I had to climb over the balcony to clear it up (sun dried) and there was a lot of it tucked in corners and at the side of walls.

 

We had eventually moved to a house with fields nearby and Smokey could get out and run about which made life so much easier.

 

One night my partner and I were chatting as the TV was on in the background and the cat was lying along the top of the settee behind us. To let you understand with my work, income wasn’t always consistent, and I jokingly said to my partner that if we struggled financially, we could always catch rabbits for dinner.

 

In bed that night, I moved to get out of bed in the dark, turning round to put my foot on the floor. Then I felt something kind of wet and furry under my foot before I put any weight on it.  I thought, is it a pair of slippers, because I was sure there was nothing there before I went to bed.  I put he light on, and there it was, a dead rabbit brought in for us by Smokey. Go figure…

 

 

Stillness

 

The stillness of the night,

fills my senses with its peaceful might.

I would love for this feeling to stay,

but I know tomorrow brings another day.

Still, I remember what I have learned about life,

and that is not to worry about imaginary strife.

Each breath, each moment is mine to relish,

creating wonderful memories for me to cherish.
