Ree-Writes #23: Spinning

Ree-flections This issue is a week late. I hope you haven’t been weeping forlornly into your inbox over its absence. But in case you were wondering, we’ve had a run of seasonal colds (LittleOne and me), plus work and extra deadlines (me), plus an overnight stay away from home for work (me, but affecting the…

Ree-Writes #22: Eclectic

Ree-flections I’ve got an interesting, eclectic mix of shares for you in this issue! In the name of creativity, there are clowns, colours, crusts and calculators. There’s a collage too. Here’s my past of couple of weeks in a pic collage: Clockwise L-R: I hope my words find you well in your world, and I…

The Sad Clown of Carleton Park (Snapshot Stories 23)

The industrial estate at Carleton Park is a large, busy one. It has many buildings – all in varying combinations of concrete, corrugated iron and steel. Behind their smoothly painted exteriors, they all house gears and levers and joints and axles and belts obediently roll and turn and twist in their particular programs of synchronised…

Ree-Writes #21: Crisp

Ree-flections Welcome to issue #21 of my Ree-Writes newsletter. This is around the time in the Blue Mountains when the thermostat plunges from ha-ha-you-though-you-were-coping-with-autumn-bearably-cold to its relentless, permanently-goosebumped shroud of frigidity. Shoutout to those heading into – or out of – their winter wildnesses (or mildnesses, in my grateful case)! Creatively, I’ve been inching ahead…

Call of the Komorebi (Snapshot Stories 22)

Sometimes, you do things you shouldn’t. It starts out innocuously enough. You’re sitting in your garden, enjoying the melodious green, the calm birdsong, the dappled light, time floating instead of hurrying and harrying. Then you see that flicker of light out of the corner of your eye. You think: a bug, a butterfly. So you…

Meeting the Dragons (Snapshot Stories 21)

It was the boy’s second week at the Retreat in the Countryside that was Far Away From Anywhere Else. The young boy awoke – as he had every morning since he had arrived – to the sound of incessant buzzes and giggles of the dragonflies. The dragonflies were only going about their daily business in…

The New Moon Woman At Sunset (Snapshot Stories 20)

The woman on the new moon is perched comfortably above the clouds of sparkling dusk rain. It is nearly time. She twirls her umbrella, currently the colour of sunset orange, and once again peers through the gap in the clouds. She can see her reflection all shiny and clear, floating and beckoning all the way…

Ree-Writes #20: 20-20

Ree-flections I’m sending this issue out as we go into the Easter long weekend here in Australia. For the past few weeks, the sun has been tracking rapidly across the sky to its winter rising point. The world turned the thermostat markedly down in the past few days (though not as sharply as it does…

Nocturne (Snapshot Stories 19)

1.00am The middle of the week drifts through the night. 2.00am Mist has descended and has lovingly smudged out the world. Rain drips in a constant rhythm outside the window. The autumn cold sits, a heavy blanket. 3.00am Shrouded in her comforter, she looks from the ceiling to the window again.She tries to count sheep.…

The Jeweller (Snapshot Stories 18)

The jeweller in the sky wraps himself in his favourite coat of darkest indigo silk. He is preparing to scatter his gems across the night, just like he does every time the sun retreats. With infinite patience and care, he rolls great handfuls of stones to shine free between the stars. Then he pauses. And…

Paper Aeroplane (Snapshot Stories 17)

You stand on an emerald cliff under a charcoal sky. The wind buffets at you spasmodically, as though half in warning and half curiously. From your jacket pocket, you carefully pull out the paper with all its words left unsaid and with that rose-coloured love heart. It flutters eagerly in the wind like a fledgling…
