crescendo

audio of text

bless the infinite tumult crescendo of late may!
a world burst higgeldy piggeldy with flowers
bird song, days stretched out by endless light
the air perfumed by liacs, roses and elderflowers
kirtan, evenings of comedy, dancing at caravanersai
the mighty elm of preston park
dunk in the crisp, electric blue of the ocean
a handful of words scattered carelessly
the soft languor of twilight, expansive, realm of staggering rapture, flow from above
bask in this enchantment, today, the euphoria of everywhere!
………

it’s me, me,me and me again!… yes, i know, i tried diluting with flowers… but it’s impossible to choose a single snap, when the colours are just so blooming marvelous! x

Esther: Love your take on the world 💜

piddinghoe jog

audio of text

morning jog to piddinghoe and back… foot grumbling a smidge, but not toooo bad (touch wood), have missed running since jan
full moon and buddha day!… nothing speaks so powerfully of impermanence as moving our ageing but miraculous bodies through the glorious and ever changing spring
enjoy the beauty and vibrancy of this fleeting physical form
lumber creak and wheeze, me, well i was a slo-mo day-glo blur!
odd to find a daffodil in may, empathy for all late bloomers
oh and hogweed(?), gets a bad rap, have been loving the heady smell from huge clumps of this roadside plant
……….
was thinking earlier of, as a kid, going for a run with dad to the paper shop with hound on lead in tow, ooh way back in the mid 70’s,
must have only happened once or twice, not a family of athletes, but the jogging craze swept the nation!
