We read stories of those who live in wild places and are connected to nature, being protected when a firestorm circumnavigates, one nurtured and well tended property, whilst eradicating the modern, edifice to ego, in a heart beat.
Nature heals, stirs depths of emotion, strips bare and heals again, without agenda. Respect, rather than fear is the key to connecting, empathically with her ever-changing cycles.
Sentient life in all forms is Penny Reilly's passion. Celebrating in words and photos, what inspires her, Unfurled is a magickal and oft, whimsical, poetic journey into reconnection with nature in the raw.
Unfurled
Leaves stir; a gentle wind blows after the storm
Rippling still waters across the ponds
Nothing fits the pattern of the once-time norm
Reeds rustle; bracken unfurls green fronds
Blackbird sings
His cry of triumph rings
Autumn-flavoured colours, float and spin
Summer's last days, reflect gold on my skin
