The Passion

The Passion It was a burning need the desire to hold and hoard not cars or rare antiques but small and natural things coloured stones from a beach pales driftwood’s sculpted forms parrots’ feathers of every hue and discarded skin of a snake such wonders of diversity a bower built of treasured finds until they overwhelmed my home overtook the room for me.

Dear Karen, We have lots of deadlies living here in the bush, so a harmless skin is a gift. Much better than stepping on a live one.
