Apple Mac, Lyme Regis

Hearing of two little girls on holiday in Lyme Regis for the first time, eating fish and chips by the Cobb in the early evening sun.

Listening to the sound of a puppy snoring.

Finally understanding something my Spanish teacher told me a hundred times.

Downloading a tune onto my new Mac, however old you are there is always room for another ‘first’.

Carpe Diem

Father Kevin O'Rourke, Sijo poetry

Once more I have been blown away by the beauty and meaning of Korean poetry forms.  The latest for my education is Sijo poetry. Father Kevin O’Rourke translates these beautiful pieces and I am drawn in every time.  My attempt at creating my own needs more work but it is not an impossible goal.

Someone asked me yesterday at a village fete how to read poetry.  As a life long lover of the art it had never occurred to me that for some it is not automatic.  We had a wonderful discussion and I think (hope) we both got something from our conversation.  He was a stranger and I may never see him again but poetry has a wonderful pull even if we don’t always fully understand.  It crosses boundaries and adds a calm spirituality to the world, even angry poems have their place in an attempt to make others see our reason.

Peace and understanding

Denny Bradbury
