from on top of table mountain i can see the house i grew up in. it was something I usually did when walking with my family, to look for our home and sometimes i would reach out my arm and hold it between my thumb and fore finger. i could flatten it easily or so it felt.  our neighbours homes and ours, all the size of a piece from the monopoly board game. you could hear a few sounds of cars from far below but mostly it felt that this , up here, is a different world then down there. the land dwarfed over our lives.

 

a few hours later we would have returned home and now the trees towered over us and the house seemed so big. family growing up issues return but I knew there was something else out there.and i think that change of space and size of things had a deep impact on me

Global warming and the final frontier

 

She breathed open mouthed with a low rasping sound. Her lungs felt tight. She coughed hoping to dislodge the dust. The gas bill could wait. Climbing into the airbag she deposited 4 coins into the slot and waited for the clean air. One hour was all she could afford.
