My Pictures: Last night I was taken to a farm, just outside Xinxiang….a very special place. An organic farm…I talked with the farmer and local people….and found a little solitude in the Chinese countryside.

Sun and East all around,
something started in my soul.

Orange headed Magpies,
perched across the tiled roofs.

Ducks and chickens mingling in sun,
a walking farmer watches.

Mists from chilled sweat peas,
and vines climbing the walls.

Passing briefly between us all, the sun.
Full blown and obliging, pathway in and then out.
