‘Futility’.

Move him into the sun –
Gently its touch awoke him once,
At home, whispering of fields unsown.
Always it woke him, even in France,
Until this morning and this snow.
If anything might rouse him now
The kind old sun will know
Wilfred Owen

Lest we forget...

Beaver Moon

The largest and brightest supermoon of the year.
The November Beaver Super Moon takes its name from traditional Native American and colonial folklore, it was visible last night and tonight too
