I was feeling wistful this morning, needing something lovely (as it’s raining cats and dogs outside. Lovely turned out to include a poem from Anita, a double blessing…
This is not my usual walk
through the woods with my daughter
Today I am alone,
walking through God’s Fingers
A warm touch of heaven, I tell myself
My feet leave the ground
My body lifted to the top of the canopy
I hover there like some high wire act
From a forgotten circus
My heart in my mouth
The land lies before me
A giant monopoly board
With houses, hotels,
a patchwork quilt of adventure
From here I cannot see people
I assume them to be Tom Thumb sized
While I am Gulliver, overlooking Lilliput
For a moment,
my mind wonders how I will get down
Am I expected to climb?
A firm swift movement
lowered my feet to the ground
I found my daughters hand in mine
It’s twelve o clock and all’s well…

The garden welcomes the rain, and they say it will continue all week.
I hope you are enjoying whatever weather you have today…
Best wishes… Jaye 💖
