Hope you enjoy some of it.<br />M xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055598777203654547.post-19218811473454981712017-04-25T10:29:26.912+01:002017-04-25T10:29:26.912+01:00Hello Miri - you'll be pleased to know that TW...Hello Miri - you'll be pleased to know that TWR has made it to the top of the pile at last!<br /><br />Thanks for such kind comments. DO bring that poem to Iona - I'd love to hear it!<br /><br />And have you read Peter Wohlleben's 'The Hidden Life of Trees' (I think is the title) yet? It's completely wonderful.<br /><br />Love to you both.

And then a full immersion in the wild world and your invaluable giving. So good to be able to picture it all having been to your place.<br />I feel the same about trees and what you say reminded me of a longish prose-poem about the healing relationship between a paperbark maple (Acer Griseum) and a teenage girl I wrote a while back and always mean to bring to Iona. Maybe next year.<br />I gaze at our trees here for ages in an almost trance-like state, wander amongst them, marvelling at the shining rippling effect which reminds me of the strait between Iona and Mull.<br />This is a lovely way to start my writing-time, the memory of the singing bowl, the chattering of birds, sun thawing the ground-frost last night and so much warm wisdom. <br />Thanks as ever – Miri (alerted to this blog by J who also loves it) xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
