An Invitation
I have been witnessing species extinction for many years, stayed awake to the unfolding death of our natural world. My learning of story, narrative and myth has given me deep belief that humans have capacity to balance their presence on this planet.
This work requires relating with the elements, water especially.
Before I moved to this bush place, I lived for a time beside the Pacific Ocean, with its definitive blue. It was different water-time for me then, I wrote to the incoming and outgoing tides. Here now with the forest, the water pulses deeper underground, seeps to the surface, leaks sometimes.
The words I wrote to those incoming and outgoing tides of that ocean of definitive blue, with its branches of bleached drift wood and bright morning sky, were bundled up as ‘a mouthful of water’. It’s a poetic reflection on water, written each day for a year. Some of it reads well.
I’m inviting you on a creative expedition with me, to explore a month's worth of ‘a mouthful of water’.

'A mouthful of water' is a small tributary of Latorica Letters, an offering for those who love water, depth, and could do with a little wonder.
