Woodsman And The Medicine Woman.
My sweetheart lady said to me, whispering light as a wrath's sigh; “come my love.” She took my hand, gazing about...cheeks pale under full moonlight...

Hi Jean,

Hi Jean,
I was watching on youtube a poem read by a poet named Maya Angelou, called Still I Rise. This poem reminded me of you and your courage, when faced with the distress you're enduring.
I'm glad that the past two weeks have...

Oh! How I yearn for the countryside, to be at one with the landscape. Just for a moment I was right there with you in your poem, you make it seem so breathtaking.
Thank you for sharing this gorgeous poem Rhiannon, and the photos are...

Posted on Tue, 20 Dec 2022
I think you've kept this story so real. There's only so many times you can forgive someone for their aggression, then the only action you can take, is to move on, but for so many women the fear is far too great, which is very sad.

I too have never heard of chemo curls. Went through a similar experience as you when I was younger. My hair is straight too. It was when a friend asked me to be a maid of honour at her wedding in about 1978. She wanted me to have permed hair so I...

Hi David,
The whole experience could have been much worse, that was why I wanted to record the episode in a diary entry, as the whole experience could easily be forgotten or not remembered right over time. We were very lucky, if we'd been...

This is such a fond elegy for someone passing. I too am sorry for your loss Paul.
These lines stood out to me so much:-

a wonderful sense of calm in this piece Rhiannon, like the end to a perfect day has been achieved and you've just sat down to write about it.
I love the photos too, they fill the heart with gladness...as does your poem.

Posted on Fri, 25 Mar 2022
Hear! Hear! Rhiannon. These words are so important. We all need that special someone we can depend on, and know they can depend on us too.
It brings to mind when our fence blew down, instead of getting in someone professional, me and my...
