Just shadows on a summer lawn

Nighttime on Still Waters

For us the river of the year has, so far, been roaring and fierce. It is difficult, at times, to see the bank or to even know whether we are floating or sinking. However, that is only one small part of the picture. What follows is a rather incoherent attempt to find coherence amid the noise.

Journal entry:

10th April, Wednesday

“This morning dawned in chilled silver
I wore my coat up to my chin.
Now the sun is out
And coltsfoot down dances
On a warm wind.”
With special thanks to our lock-wheelersfor supporting this podcast.
