We have had currawongs with their melodic voices in the backyard and near my writing shed. In Sydney we are crossing over to mellow, cooler weather which is a blessed relief after the humidity and heat-wave of January. The poem is wonderful. I always enjoy popping over here for stimulating distraction and also reading the comments which are so interesting. Happy March to you and may this season of the Equinox restore balance and help you to sweep away all the obstacles in your life. xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078357011397157919.post-32476736700908522962011-03-17T10:40:21.989-07:002011-03-17T10:40:21.989-07:00I have never read that poem Justine, thank you for...I have never read that poem Justine, thank you for the introduction.
