SWEET REFUGE

some simple details

to start the weekend.

coffee & pistachio buns this afternoon

to celebrate our son passing his violin exam.

music streaming,

bouquet from the local flowershop. 

it's been a quiet week,

so quiet it started to make me a little jittery. 

but yesterday I landed a lovely suprise shoot

in the neighbourhood

& right after that,

my work diary sort of filled up all by itself

for the rest of the year it seems. 

should have just relished this quiet

I winked to myself... 

as much as I appreciate time for just me,

I do thrive with enough to do

& the right amount of spare time 

for the creative spirit to take flight,

although who wouldn't I guess...

been flicking through the pages 

of Roversi meets Dior,

a true match made in heaven.

his images

& the quality of the pages between the fingers,

enough to transport into a world of soulful beauty,

where texture & warmth abound. 

with this quick post,

I wish you a very happy weekend.

FRIDAY GLIMPSES

Friday is a good day

to finish work early

& trek across town

to visit my dear friend

& her precious baby girl. 

On the way,

picking up some weekend reading

from an alluring newish bookshop,

& a bouquet of Friday flowers

from the smiley ladies

at the corner florist's.

A chill in the air today,

but a sense of s p r i n g... 

or not even a sense,

 the real deal!

Wishing you a sweet weekend.

(p.s. all these were snapped

at my friend's tranquil home

above Helsinki rooftops.)

DREAMING

An ashen-hued Friday

interrupted by a strike of lightning,

then the fleeting glimmer of the sun,

before hushing down to a feathery grey again.

Body & mind slowed right down

with a little autumn flu. 

Weeks of busyness

came to an end,

now time to land in between. 

Despite its unfinished state,

our home is warm,

its walls dripping with dreams. 

Tuhkanharmaa perjantai,

jonka hetkeksi keskeytti salamointi,

sitten kultainen valo,

joka katosi yhtä nopeasti kuin ilmestyi,

taittui takaisin untuvan pehmeään harmauteen. 

Mieli & ruumis sykkivät

harmittoman syysflunssan otteessa hitaalla.

Kiireviikot takana,

aikaa laskeutua hengähtämään. 

Koti kaikessa keskeneräisyydessään

on lämmin,

sen seinät tihkuvat unelmia.
