Good morning Graham,

Your poem stood out for me this morning, I enjoyed its mood.

It would be too much to suggest synchronicity between ourselves, but maybe some similarity in our suggestive awareness.

This morning I experienced the minutia described in my most recent submission. It struck me how the birdsong in both our pieces broke a spell in our moods whilst casting another.

It was a lovely moment for me (and my mutt)

There are always a million magical things happening in this world, thank goodness.

My eyes meeting my canine partners over a steamy vent is of course crudely comical (hopefully) there is beauty in the strangest things after all.
