Thank you for that.<br /><br />And I don't know Castle Crag – sounds beautiful. Cumbria is somewhere I'd love to explore more of, but I need a parallel life or three to visit all the places that call me.<br /><br />Love to you.

When I'm there – every autumn now – I'm deeply affected by its still calm amongst the scattering of birches, the shattered and splinted slate, the Scots pine needles, the russet bracken. And its always so difficult to find words to describe what I feel, other than Holy Place all part of the Other World up there. Just 5 short, but finely sculpted, lines, you find, for your special place. Understated but straight to the heart of it all. I'll keep trying to hone my words!<br />Thanks again, Ro.
