Moments of no consequence
Seem to make a lot of sense;
Like the gentle pitter patter
Of the things that do not matter
As I sit alone and stare;
Neither here and neither there.

in the autumn-tinted mountains near Nelson.
I take you all with me, and oh, how Light we are!
May your days be drenched with delight.

Would like to add Jac O’Keefe to your list of wide awake women.
Many thanks Harriet – I’ll work on that when I get back to base!
