Birds -...Chris, thank you for your lovely comments. Birds - what a gift, hey? And – like the rest of the animal kingdom – they can bring us such teachings on simply being with how things are, can't they?<br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear about your father. It's an ongoing nag at the back of everything, isn't, when a parent is badly ill. I lost my own dad a year ago.<br /><br />And now my daughter has lost hers. Just after he died, I met a barn owl just yards away, so still, so unconcerned, so willing simply to look and not move - so white against an afternoon (yes) stormy-light sky.<br /><br />If you have any recipes you want to share (I'm adding pages by the day) I'd be so grateful!<br /><br />Rxrosellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00971482422276765335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055598777203654547.post-44836227564857407052016-01-15T06:34:09.553+00:002016-01-15T06:34:09.553+00:00Congratulations with your new website/blog, what a...Congratulations with your new website/blog, what a positive thing to do at the turning of the year. Any help is appreciated as I often seem to struggle to be completely vegan.<br />Funny that you should mention birds today. I was sitting in my car this morning, waiting to meet someone and feeling very helpless and overwhelmed. I was worrying about my father who is seriously ill, when a robin perched on my wing mirror. We made eye contact and in those couple of seconds I felt suddenly reassured that whatever the outcome, we would get through this somehow. That little calm soul gave me such an enormous lift.<br />Chris xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055598777203654547.post-27869521062254960412016-01-13T16:23:31.585+00:002016-01-13T16:23:31.585+00:00Marg, I'm simply delighted to hear you noticed...Marg, I'm simply delighted to hear you noticed (it wasn't exactly flagged up within the body of the diary). And I like your use of it for your novel! Marg can you remind me again by email of details of your Cinnamon Press book, asap? - Am hoping to send out my FITH mailshot today or tomorrow, and if I get your email in time will add details. And - thank you.

Needless to say I'm using it in my own way to progress my novel- a timely reminder of the senses.<br />I love your poem and wish I could identify all the birds in our garden. love Marg xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
