Such wise words and so neatly

Posted on Tue, 31 Oct 2023

Such wise words and so neatly and artfully arranged. The age old problem of how to right wrongs without doubling up on the wrong or being trampled all over. We've still some evolving to do.

'whose bark wrinkled with age

Posted on Mon, 30 Oct 2023

'whose bark wrinkled with age' I love the idea of elements of the forest also growing old like the journey of your parents from their youthful courtship through to 'the suffocated heavy blanket of fear' in old age. The endless cycle of new...

This is very powerful, Di.

This is very powerful, Di. The word shame is so exposing, the sound of it making you feel, at once ashamed.

'It is revenge', an endless cycle of revenge. We learn it as children but as adults, with no greater powers to intervene, does it...

It sounds like all your cats

A reset button without all

Posted on Sun, 15 Oct 2023
