The peace of wild things;

 I come into the presence of still water. 
And I feel above me the day-blind stars 
waiting with their light. For a time 
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.


A much needed reset this afternoon, moments of solitude on the shore of Ullswater, a wild swim in the sense that I felt wildy alive, thrilled to be joined by these majestic creatures who were totally unperturbed by either me or Missy. Assessment submitted, I let the simple act of being in the water wash my stress away. 


Later I sat on a rock on the waters edge with a wonderfully warm sun on my back and had a lovely long catchup with a bestie, modern world and natural world combined.
