WONDER:
How grapes become wine.
Part II
Once the sugar is all gone, the yeast say goodbye and the bacteria say hello. Welcome: our guide to secondary fermentation.
The stars are beautiful,
So the eyes of my people.
Beautiful, also, is the sun.
Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people.
SOFT & SENSUAL
To make sense
is to arouse the senses.
Autumn is coming,
say our bodies.
WONDER:
How grapes become wine.
Wine is a magical process of transformation; grapes become wine. Here’s how the magic happens.
WONDER:
Your February Horoscope.
There’s a 'no more pretending' kinda feel this month and the intense Aquarian energy demands fresh perspectives and new alignments.
SKIN-CONTACT & SUNSETS
To be neither glorious
nor inglorious, but real.
Held, holding.
IT'S ALL LOVE
Hugging, laughing, crying –
in the long grass
by the river with you
WARMER
Closed eyes, looking into the heat of the sun.
Bare skin, full glasses empty –
things are looking up.
Flowers unfurling, and arms outstretched. And as all the windows and doors open, we hear music. And it says, 'Hello, Spring, we love you.'
Music to dance to.
Poetry to drift to.
Choreography to shift you.
Sunlight to stun you.
Indigenous wisdom as a path to healing, walking 4,300 km across a country and freediving into the ethereal depths.
Hands are unbearably beautiful. They hold on to things. They let things go. —Mary Ruefle
