Beauty and truth in an exquisite nutshell, Simeon -- thanks so much for this R.S. Thomas poem, your own words, and the image. Today, their impact is enhanced by the fact that my Vincent van Gogh wall-calendar features this *exact* same 1889 painting, 'Wheat Field with Cypresses', for September 2026. Lovely to take in its intensity, daily or more often: Vincent gives us a glorious balance: wild, windy sky energies yet gentle, flowing breezes bless the foreground grasses, rocks, and earth. Thank you for all three celebrations' instinctive sense of simple things' secret, eternal brightness.

What a beautiful synchronicity, Catherine :) And I love van Gogh’s work, it’s more real than real in a way, in how it communicates the wonder of life
