16/1/10
First day clear of snow in the Forest of Dean and from the upstairs of a bus ploughing through to Gloucester, the world looks a brighter colour........
Saturday 2 weeks into January
and only now does it seem
like the year is beginning
Nature has steered these 14 days
its temperatures, its weather,
its sloth on our ambition
its taste and beauty, challenge and uncertainty.
From this bus everything looks clean and fresh.
the grass has sprung verdantly
sky looks unsure, as if a
world of snow could still be produced at will, plain paper white.
so different public transport-the atmosphere, people you don't meet otherwise-what you hear and up front upstairs the view of another world...
close to my ear-he leans forward so I can hear softly "going to ask Shirley to get engaged-yeh..see you later Shane yeh..ok"

So true - nature steers what we do - I'm tired of hibernating Roger, thanks for this wake up call! I wonder if we'll ever know whether Shirley said yes?
