Postcard from the Past




Daniel in the Den of Lions (12th cent. Romanesque frieze - Lincoln Cathedral)

Today I rediscovered an old postcard - a souvenir of my visit to Lincoln Cathedral many years ago. These are the words I wrote on it:


DON'T HURRY

 DON'T WORRY 

 AT THE CENTRE 

 OF OUR BEING 

 IS THE ANSWER

 LOVE IS THE ANSWER, 

 I LOVE YOU.

    What lovely words Gwil. Were you addressing them to someone at the time?

      I was addressing them to my sister who lived near Lincoln and had passed away after a long illness.

      I didn't know it was your home city. A delightful place but that hill. I defy any woman in high heels to walk down it.

    As I see:
    __ Love is a stem, that understanding pathway between the root and a flower; an answer. _m

    a root
    will feed our bloom
    loves stem

      Love as stem between root and flower is a lovely metaphor. Thanks.

      I like your take on it, if I may call it that, Magyar.

      When you find a white feather it might be an angel has passed that way, she used to say.

      Nobody was allowed to wear black at her funeral.
