About me

Bare foot - Touching the soil

I was born in Kibbutz Lavi, a religious kibbutz in the lower Galilee.
And I grew out of green lawns, unto carpets of green,
and blooms and changing of the leaves,
Summer, winter, autumn and spring,
Sunsets, sunrise and the migration of the birds...

A child with a head of wild curls.
In winter, shoos on but laces undone,
In summer bare foot, touching the soil.
Nature's child who breathes and flows with rhythms of nature
A child who day by day feels nature's all encompassing embrace
I loved to experience and study nature on my own,
to be within nature (as opposed to learning about nature indirectly).

I thanked God daily for granting me the privilege
to be and to live where nature was happening constantly
To bless each and every year, at the blossoming of the pear orchard:
"Nothing is lacking in world
and he created good creatures, and good trees
for man's enjoyment."

When I grew up and held a camera in my hand
I began to capture and hold nature's great bounty
bringing beauty into my home,
Photos upon photos, picture frames and albums
Catching autumn leaves, the rush of water,
the crimson flower and the whisper of waves...

Colors, colors... and even more.
A glance weaving and bringing it all together... .

And today, Coping with the rhythm of the city,
Yet allowing myself expressions of space
and shreds of nature,
in those short pauses that routine allows
Bringing into my "city home", my childhood,
The sights and smells and the way of life of nature.
