Dew drops on a spiders web fill our hearts with pure joy

As do spring blossoms

and untrodden snow.

Little lambs gamboling in the fields are pure too but are we destroying our world

Affecting our land and our pure water supply

You can’t eat coal nor drink the water that results. Keep our water and our world pure

Clean pure energy

Giving clean pure air so lichens and fungi

and orchids

and our children can thrive,

soft and pure

can have pure fun racing their ducks

and experiencing a spirituality that comes purely from being alive.

About Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

Beautiful Irene – that bedewed cobweb looks huge! The only problem with the huge windmills is the thousands of birds and bats they kill every year.
