This pathway leads to a yard of a lovely old farmhouse …
Among old discarded farm instruments I went walking –
Attracted to bright autumn colours then became aware –
Of the long wintry shadows that loomed dark all around me.

Yesterday was the first day in about 2 weeks without rain in the 24 hours. So, I went out for a walk, as so did a lot of other people! But what really caught my attention were two paragliders soaring high over Monte Velo, the mountain that sits behind my house. Here we’re looking at them though from Arco, about 2 kilometers from where I live.
up
flying
so high
in the sky
are friends
enjoying
life
hanging
gliding
following breezes
free from gravity
over mountains
cold
brown
spring
comes
gliding along
upstreams – down-winds – sunshine
heartbeat races
I
watch.
