my first is in moon but not in dark
my second is in earth but not in ground
my third is in sun but not in light
my fourth is in air and also in breath
my fifth is in water and likewise in sea

swifts
this morning at 09:32 I heard them then two minutes later saw a pair. Now it rains thickly. the apple blossoms are smelling sweet and the early opened petals fly in the breeze.
My ambition is for self honesty, courage, kindness, humour & wonder to come easily!
words from Wittgenstein
Tell them I’ve had a wonderful life.You can’t think decently if you don’t want to hurt yourself. When it’s nasty then it’s most important.
Reading
Quantum Enigma, physics encounter conciousness.
by Bruce Rosenblum & Fred Kuttner. An excellent book by 2 physicists that clearly lays out quantum physics and discusses all the 'spooky' problems. Not a new age spiritual book, but definitely breath taking when you really try and grasp the implications, which have bothered some like Einstein more than others.
Wandering God by Morris Berman
Ivor Cutler
Kenneth Patchen
Angela Carter [The Bloody Chamber in particular of course]
Alan Garner Strandloper &Thursbitch [and any of his work for children and young people]
To Share
We breathe in the air that rushed through their lungs
We breathe in the atoms that were their bodies
We slip our feet into sea
that touches all land
We feel the same sun on our skin
The same air in our lungs
You and I.
