Thank you for the hopeful-haiku, you beat me by moments! Starting a piece of art that will hang at Willow Lodge alongside student art, a reminder of my time with RBAir..
I will pour my heart
Into this art, as I have
Poured it into Air

Today, I had my last formal session with one of my fave young people, who when we met could not speak to me, but now we chat freely - a remarkable young lady.
To have played a part
In this young person's journey —
Her life adventure.

Happy birthday Karen, hoping you're both enjoying Londinium..
As you said Patrick, it's the hoping that is hardest.
Hope springs eternal,
Then slips away, leaving us
Hanging by a thread..

Today I ate a Ghent Nose.
A conical confection - a 'Cuberdon',
That owes it existence to those
Curious Belgian Monks
Who between prayer and isolation,
Create sweet treats and intoxicating brews -
All in the name of the Divine.
