What I want to say is
that the past is the past,
and the present is what your life is,
and you are capable
of choosing what that will be,
darling citizen.
So come to the pond,
or the river of your imagination,
or the harbor of your longing,
and put your lips to the world.
And live
your life.

Thank you for this one Karl. I’ve been feeling very low and tearful for a few days. Reading this has been good for me.
Hi Chris. Sorry to hear things are a bit tough. Hope that you are doing a bit better. I know you like Mary Oliver so I am glad this one helped. The photo is from Carlow, so not so far from Kildare which you know, Karl
Thanks Karl, Im better than I was so things are looking up. I think a trip to Ireland would help; maybe later in the year, August or September.
I am glad to hear that things are a bit lighter. It would be great if you could get over for a break; weather can be good in September.
Karl
😊 it’s in the plan
