Thanks for the reminder that we shouldn't only focus on the bigger picture...there are miracles waiting to be unearthed in the smaller things...Michelle Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02750092836481599870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436812892124383603.post-21856188836859916432015-12-04T06:30:27.475-04:002015-12-04T06:30:27.475-04:00It is such a beautiful poem thank you Guilie.

Still, I believe it's a worthy exercise.

Thank you so, so much! Besides, those posts aren't going anywhere... The links will stay up on the Tour page, for you to visit whenever you can :) I'm so glad you're taking a few days off in Melbourne; we'll be looking forward to hearing all about it. And yes, this does have a bit of a Whitmanian feel to it, doesn't it? Though, as you say, more positive (at least overtly). Glad you enjoyed it :)Guilie Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006999087139126972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436812892124383603.post-74109313277728256412015-11-30T20:03:53.542-04:002015-11-30T20:03:53.542-04:00And it's been fabulous to have you along for t...And it's been fabulous to have you along for the ride, Hilary!

Nature is a healer if we allow her to fill the empty spaces. Reminds me of the Walt Whitman poem, I Sit and Look Out, but this one is far more positive. It'll keep me company while I'm in the air soon and while I reconnect with Melbourne, a beautiful cultural city which I haven't visited for years. :-)Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436812892124383603.post-37114744815605032622015-11-30T13:38:17.911-04:002015-11-30T13:38:17.911-04:00Hi Guilie - what a lovely poem ...
