My perspective here.
I am the poet and writer of this blog, married to my DH Ueli, and mom of two teenagers with two cats. We live on a farm in Switzerland, in a very old house which we are renovating.
For over 35 years I've been writing poetry, and delving into photography within the past 10 years. If you're curious about the site, please follow the 'about' link.

and flow of Life,
