I used to play too
when panelled footballs had laces
goal nets luxury
~
n.b. Today I made this clay model of a football I was given one Christmas. It was orange, as this will be painted, when dry. Something for my grandson?

On Water xiii
a pause to reflect
it was here that fate pushed me
I’d to cross a bridge

n.b. Time and tide and all that. Choices, decisions, life goes on.

L3 (Day 54): In The Cold
The shift from yesterday’s promising warmth of sunshine to this fog threatening existence was brutal. No wind as such, but bitter cold, bitter.
The numbering of days in this lockdown is moving on so fast. Best not to look back to what has been left behind, or left undone, but to look ahead, to plot a course. Heaven’s light our guide.

On Understanding
What relief there is
to know our confusion’s past.
For that I’m grateful.
~
n.b. In a complex world, establishing a little bit of peace, love and understanding is always a good thing, however long it takes to get there.

Here’s white light, no heat
Heaven’s lights will shine bright tonight
In this brilliant galaxy
how will you hear
the star that calls to you?

On Mercury
Retrograde movement
an optical illusion
Orpheus, don’t look!
~
n.b. Apparently there is a bit of thing when Mercury is backsliding for nostalgia. Being grateful for the good things is one thing, wallowing in the past – meh.

C3 (Day 42): Lent
Who was it that had
my copy of The Football
Grounds of Great Britain?
~
n.b. I cannot imagine I ever let anyone borrow that from me, but no sign of my copy of the classic text by Simon Inglis and I would never have knowingly given it away. The Football Grounds of Europe is still with me, so maybe this is telling me something about my future?
