“Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone.
Kindness in another’s trouble,
Courage in your own.”

- Adam Lindsay Gordon.

A capture of the moonrise and in a twilight sky. Hues of pink and purple, the tree line in shadow. A skeletal outline of an oak tree is to the right of the image.

In the midst of hate, I found there was,
within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was,
within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was,
within me, an invincible calm.
-Albert Camus

A honeybee shines golden in the afternoon light on a New England Astro blossom.

Gathering the last of Summer‘s bounty
Before the clouds and rain return to the skies
Soon it will be too cold to stir from the hive
And we will live on the sweetness stored away

Last week I took this photo of the lake at Compton Verney in Warwickshire. In the distance are hills covered with trees and a bridge crossing the lake. Cedar trees are on both sides of the lake. Reflections of the bridge and trees are on the water. A bright green lawn is on the right Sadly Brian Pattern died last week. He was one of my favourite poets and part of the Liverpool Poets with Roger McGough and Adrian Henri. They came to prominence in the 60s. I was lucky to see the Liverpool Poets in the 70s and saw Brian Pattern on his own reading his poems when I was at university. He had the most wonderful lilting Liverpool accent. His poems are full of the pain, anguish and beauty of love.

“I was sitting in a room that looked on to a garden
and a stillness filled me,
bitterness drifted from me.

I was as near paradise as I am likely to get again.”
