Here in England the news tonight carried footage of Central Park in the snow…. I thought of you running through that cold before school. The farm fields that I walk every morning are this week very bleak, with grey skies and thin, mean wind, but the hundreds of wild geese keep me company and an occasional pheasant keeps me alert with its sudden crawking and graceless flight. We inhabit a world that offers encouragement wherever we step out into it.
Yes. There is so very much here that speaks to the innermost heart. Your words are a balm. And it always strikes me that you can evoke such emotional immensity with an economy of words. Less is more in all things. Thank you.
Wonderful - the poem and the commentary. So much there to last a long time.
