Break through

I have seen the sun break through
to illuminate a small field
for a while …

R S Thomas
The Bright Field

It’s a wonderful thing that a 30-day walking challenge opens onto such fascinating horizons — both in the outer world and the inner one.

Today, in rural Lakeland, I find myself in glad company. I can almost hear R S Thomas on his knees in a Welsh parish church, contemplating depth, quietly murmuring beneath the great panoply of dark and light that stretches over us all –

Life is not hurrying
on to a receding future …

I delight in the heart-held companionship of the poets and sages I’ve known and loved across a lifetime. And I am so profoundly thankful for all who ‘walk’ with me.
