To be remembered is fine
A farming friend of mine
Named a cow after me
It stirs a soft spot in me

Passers By
Sometimes all you can do
Thank people you knew them
The one thing that’s true
They pass us, we pass them

1960s’ Singapore: The continuing saga of a boy called Mechanic Leigh…
School recess was all too short, only twenty minutes. The bell rang. I rushed to the toilet, just enough time for a quick pee before the mad dash back to the classroom.
Mother had bought the cheapest school shorts – with zippers – no more struggling with oversized buttons and tiny buttonholes. (For the uninitiated, back in the sixties, Japanese products were cheap but sucked).

If Pa were alive, he would have done the same. Sigh!
I love Jack.
(Ghost writer whispers: Dear readers, it is the first time Leigh has mentioned his father. Please don’t mention him in your comments)

Thank You
My sweet neighbor was kind
I thanked his mother for their friendship
Music, laughter linger in our mind
Celebrate life through neighborship

My dear neighbor
No more years were granted you
It’s you I’m sad, shocked for
And those who loved you too

Fact Finding
What is true?
With some it’s what they do
With others what they say
It’s an instinctive way

How he acts matters
His heart is not on his sleeve

Today
Strange day
Joys & pains day
Departure day
A new route from today

Normality
Routine is sometimes best
I put some things aside for now
Putting off others I disallow
I can reinvest

The light captured at its very best.
We were woken up this morning by the tannoy announcement that we would soon be crossing the arctic circle again, so it was a quick shower followed by a quick rush on to the deck to see us leave the arctic behind. We look all around to try and see the arctic circle but of course we don’t really know what we’re looking for, is there maybe a big red line, like at the airport when you’re waiting to go through immigration, of course there isn’t, well not that we saw anyway.
After floating by the last couple of snow capped islands within the circle we come to the island, and the globe monument on it, that marks the latitude 66° 33′ 44″ and the ship dutifully sounds it’s horn as we effortlessly move passed on our journey south.
I’m glad that we then decided to make our way straight to breakfast rather than go…

Sometimes I must retreat
A shell is a safe zone
The comfort zone is well-known
Refreshment from the suite

It sometimes stifles
A dangerous advisor
Forgiveness will help

What’s Next
It’s all about a next step
Where to set foot
No step may be a misstep
The answer isn’t always staying put
