A subtle and refined poem

A seed growing in a congenial

Posted on Fri, 15 May 2020

A seed growing in a congenial environment will germinate and multiply if care is taken not to let it be smothered by weeds. Similarly, good words and good deeds will flourish and spread if not strangled by selfishness. A sound, uplifting message...

A very poignant viewpoint expressed with your usual verve. Mathematics of loneliness is just perfect.

Yes Claudine, even in those

Posted on Wed, 29 Apr 2020

Hi Rhiannon.

Hello again Rachel.

Hello again Rachel.
