Contemplation

Contemplating early spring skies, water, and fields

and realising that often images are enough without words…

Image of a long, frost-covered field with an orange sunrise in the distance against dark trees.
Image of rolling vegetation-covered cliffs leading to a small beach and a stormy sea with a dark, rainy sky overhead.
A pair of sleeping swans on fresh water with the reflection of dark trees showing in the water.

One wishes that with the spring light comes hope – of life, of new starts, of peace. And, perhaps, humbly, one hopes for creation.

Creation is, as Rita Ann Higgins says in Hurting God (Salmon Poetry, 2010), “a combination of the gut, the heart, the mind, the notebook – then the hard work starts.”

Let the combination, and the work start, or rather, make a start within a sliver of light.
