Hi Dear Folk,
Nothing is more retrospective than walking through a grave yard of tomb stones. It makes you distill things down to the basic, family, friends and faith.
A walk in the woods.
And by teasel field.

Alone
I've listened: and all the sounds I heard
Were music,—wind, and stream, and bird.
With youth who sang from hill to hill
I’ve listened: my heart is hungry still.
I’ve looked: the morning world was green;
Bright roofs and towers of town I’ve seen;
And stars, wheeling through wingless night.
I’ve looked: and my soul yet longs for light.
I’ve thought: but in my sense survives
Only the impulse of those lives
That were my making. Hear me say
‘I’ve thought!’—and darkness hides my day.
Siegfried Sassoon

I like the poetry and the teasel field. I actually like walking in grave yards. We always used to do it on our family holidays as it really connects you to the past.
ReplyDeleteGraveyards are so peaceful. I like the British ones with their green grass and a bench or two to sit and contemplate
