this week’s Thought (singular)
coconut is so good. to chew, to put the oil on your hair, to drink the water of. what else do you need.

hi
i’d like to start by saying ????, and also !!!. i can swear we just went into january a few weeks ago.
like last year, in what i suspect is about to become a lovely annual tradition, i will be sharing my favourite cloud/sky photos from the last 12 months -
happy new year! may 2024 keep your shoulders smooth so weight can slide off you, and your knees strong so you can carry whatever must be carried.
English Recitation Competition
Ye’ve got t’ sing an’ dance fer years, ye’ve got t’ romp an’ play, An’ learn t’ love the things ye have by usin’ ’em each day; Even the roses ’round the porch must blossom year by year Afore they ’come a part o’ ye, suggestin’ someone dear Who used t’ love ’em long ago, an’ trained ’em jes’ t’ run The way they do, so’s they would get the early mornin’ sun; Ye’ve got t’ love each brick an’ stone from cellar up t’ dome: It takes a heap o’ livin’ in a house t’ make it home.
a moving grove, Iryna Shuvalova
go and don’t come back have no doubts that’s how it is to fall into the bottomless well of a body to throw yourself like a comb over your shoulder to sow yourself across a field so that a host of warriors might grow this is how the needle passes through the needle’s eye this is how the forest shall come up to the walls and start to tremble
Loneliness, Mary Oliver
I too have known loneliness. I too have known what it is to feel misunderstood, rejected, and suddenly not at all beautiful. Oh, mother earth, your comfort is great, your arms never withhold. It has saved my life to know this. Your rivers flowing, your roses opening in the morning. Oh, motions of tenderness!
