Walking down by the river
where gulls cry
evokes sweet melancholy
banishing sorrow
I am contented
among the ghosts of the river dwellers
norse and engel
This is a place that reminds me
deep in my being
of childhood
of tents in the dawn
going west to the sea through the night
hoping the storms would abate
the sun on my back
happy and free
This is a place where truth abides
everything else fading and crumbling
this is a moment fixed in my memory
a day worth re-living again and again
The tides pushing in
walk with me ?

Great!If we loose touch with the earth we loose touch with ourselves.We are alive on a beautiful planet and although it may increasingly seem like it,it is not just a virtual world.This one is for real,although we don't always live as though it truly IS....showing enough respect and reverence.Blessings,Ade.

Exactly!If you are lucky enough to get away from the noise of society for long enough and just listen and be still then there is the chance for something greater than everyday distraction to surface.Today,while doing the daily chores indoors it was just me and the task in hand.No radio,music,other peoples voices.When I went outside into the spring sunshine and became aware of the birdsong I thought,wow,this is music!A bit cliched perhaps.But after a period of silence you seem to hear things differently perhaps!
Blessings,Ade.
