What is love, if not that feeling of elation experienced is one heeds the ‘stop’ sign for a moment (or lots of moments) and notices …
… notices, the contrasting colours in the land where we stand?
The flowers in our hedgerows:
The leaves at our feet:
The homes of our little folks:
And even the scars on our trees.
Love is where love is – and nurtured for free by the People.*
Even in the tiny bits of land that we call our gardens.
What is a Day Job, if it shuts us up inside blocks of concrete, keeps out the light, and stops us from landing?
