Managed to get a shot of this little robin and peacock scratching around in the undergrowth today and wondered what they were up to. They reminded me of the learners' forum last week helping each other with their new twitter account, this poem illustrates it quite well.

Working Together

We shape our self
to fit this world

and by the world
are shaped again.

The visible
and the invisible

working together
in common cause,

to produce
the miraculous.

I am thinking of the way
the intangible air

passed at speed
round a shaped wing

easily
holds our weight.

So may we, in this life
Trust

to those elements
we have yet to see

or imagine,
and look for the true

shape of our own self,
by forming it well

to the great
intangibles about us.
