Weariness and the NGS
Hello, I have to admit to a kind of tiredness that comes from somewhere deep inside me. It's a kind of bone deep weariness with my own self, and with what human life has become. Now I'm not saying that I'm depressed, but I'm trying to face the reality of who I am and what the collective 'we' are currently moving through; 'cost of living crisis', wars, famines, dirty politics, corruption. But then those things are always with us, like the realities of illness, separation and loss, but alongside and underneath there remains the living spirit of things. Well here I stand, still alive, still breathing in and out, and yes the garden and this post industrial valley is still singing a lively song. Today its the cuckoo, thrush, raven, buzzard, sparrow, bullfinch and the chirrrup of the blue tit family busy feeding their brood in the nestbox, protesting at our presence sitting under the shade of the umbrella. I believe that singing helps ! I have a friend named
Wow! (jumps up and down!) Wow!

Oh - good yes that's good - jumping up and down is a good sign!
DeleteMust look at the original photo. I don't recall them looking that grumpy! But if it gets Anne jumping about, it must be OK, as long as she isn't in one of her flower beds. And a nice pic of Charles getting lost again with interesting things emerging from his back-pack.
