Preamble
The bramble is in bloom
The yellow gorse there’s yards of it, absolutely yards of it
The rain speckled rambler
Walks smiling through
This pathway followed by the monks of old
Today’s story told
Around last centuries newest abbey
Amongst the twisted vines, abreast the lavender
In the bookshop reading of retreats
Buying Aristotle's thoughts on happiness
The gentle people congregate
Smiling eyes, soft spoken voices
Back on the moors
Back among magnificent vistas
A thousand years of footsteps
A million miles of thoughts
The beauty brings alive the eyes, the ears
The traveller thanks his lucky stars
Nature has many more surprises
The river rises in a flash spring spate
Meditation in stained glass surrounds
To a backdrop of glory, of giving
Being your brother's keeper
Contributing for continuation
Sunshine, showers
Photographs of flowers
Reaching peace
Touching love
Being there
Just being
Immersed in adsorption
Feeling alive
