Lovely cute poem Jenny. It's hard to believe we felt like that once but the stars are still there for us, bright and unchanging. I think you're right that if we think hard enough we can still feel that way. I love 'absorbed vitality with...

Interesting how people leave
Posted on Mon, 05 Apr 2021
Interesting how people leave litter just feet away from bins. It's almost as if they are trying to make a point but they don't think about what actually happens to their litter afterwards. The road I drive to work in South Oxfordshire it...

Beautiful descriptions of sea

Beautiful descriptions of sea and sky and the wonderful character of a dolphin and all its playful antics. It's hard to believe an animal with so much presence could ever really die. Thanks for sharing, I very much I enjoyed reading.

So strong all barriers must fall. Yes, so much is happening just this week, busy birds and buds colouring up, there is no stopping nature. The first verse is all winter and then you unfurl the vigor spring. Wonderful.
