Learning of Christ
[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] Through ages men devised, a spectrum of belief – … Preoccupied, and rare to show compassion, love, for others’ needs to care and help, assistance give.

A lot of concentrated vivid images here, and memories, and the contrast of attitudes to danger and hurts. Specially liked the first verse, and the lines about the moss. Rhiannon

Interesting cameo of bright memories, a bit like Jolono's recent 'Under a London Sky' memories of the beginning of a courtship. I liked ''Occasion marked: Us and 'Coat-hanger tourists' too. The Brolga Dance certainly sounded...
