new day dawning?
Early, Morning, Life
Stretching, as a thin silver ribbon, out before me, as roads tend to do, soft grey mist, silent and cold, lying still as a blanket, above crisp white blades of bent grass, encouraging me to “walk on”, shadows of light, pink and peach and orange silver, filtered quietly, breaking free of green blue black tree shapes, rising, starkly outlined before me, “stride on”, arms swinging arms to heat, move my blood, circulating, through, under, interior heating of a natural design, keeping me graciously, beautifully, alive in the moment I now am. Gratitude hums, an electrical current, carried above my head, like spider webs, of man made threads, across fence and tree lined land. Human machinations can’t steal the silent, magnificent, frozen, inspiration of new day dawning. I choose to walk, I walk by need, I walk, powered by remembrances, of memory. Richard & Tony et al, fallen friends, long lost pals of distant days, gone, in their honor I live, though they are not with me, their spirit is living testament, amen.

About kiwicafe
1955 . . . as a teenager in New Zealand, according to friends :) I talked incessantly of photography & philosophy, in my early twenties I hung out with photographers as I began my film editing career in Australia, I bought a variety of cameras, a faux snapper I guess, more interested in film editing, travel and back deck philosophy through which my curiosity took me from Sydney to New York & Venice Beach. For 45 years have I enjoyed working with some truly great creative directors, writers, art directors, film directors, photographers, producers et al . . . hopefully I learned a thing or two! I did win a bunch of awards and went from Editor of the Year in Australia to one of the top commercial film editors in America, not bad for a skinny kid from New Zealand.
2003 . . . newly divorced, I took the pledge, became 'one of many', an American Citizen & went Searching for Zane Grey's America. For two glorious years I filmed, photographed & blogged my way around the American West.
2006 . . . returned to Aotearoa NZ, restoring a small vineyard and continuing to film, photograph and write. I exhibited & sold some images, harvested a great vintage of both red & white, sold the vineyard, edited a movie or two & now, 2013, I have discovered a whole new journey for myself, via motor neurone disease. I continue to practice my love for film | fotography | philosophy as best I can, I am in a good place, there are no mistakes in life!
