I'm working on short stories and poems about the environment and plants and spirituality. I have been encouraged to explore these themes by people I meet when I'm out walking on the West Coast or in the Waitakere Ranges. I have been told that it is the Age of Cherishing Waters. I am carrying on the work I did in Project Twin Streams (which were facilitated community poetry writing workshops and extracts from these texts were incorporated into bridges and walkways) by using my own texts as springboards to raise community awareness and promote discussion on environmental issues.
