My angular and wandering travels....

I'm an international person, having spent 6+years of my youth in various Central and South American countries. Within my occupation as a television engineer, I've since traveled back to Mexico several times to film various religious sites, to Ireland to film a video documentary on the life of St. Patrick, to Portugal and England. Each time I took hundreds of pictures, wrote songs and poems about the things I saw and heard and felt go on around me, and tried to absorb a sense for what people in each locale thought. How they love, how they see, how they think.... My other sites: www.myspace.com/mothtoacandle http://community.webshots.com/user/waynocook www.soundclick.com/eddieaustin

The Leaf

Used with permission:
By Corina Daniela Obertas

You stop for a moment...
Because you see a fallen leaf in your way
So fragile and bereft of power...
A tear is oozing slowly
And the leaf looks at you with an warm smile
Saying thank you in this way,
because you came closer,
That you were impressed by her beauty,
Saying thank you because
You didn't trample it under foot without mercy...
Than your heart was softened
And you decided to immortalize that moment
In order to give it eternal life...
