Ups and downs
Yesterday I published a Sunday Sayings post and meant to post this one instead. I’ve been all over the place recently – almost literally but certainly emotionally and cognitively.
The way leads on.
The way is one.
It’s lost and gone.
None goes there, none.
None stays here, none.
That journey’s done.
The road leads on.
I recently re-visited Ramsgate and surrounds, a place I spent with my late husband Martin and at this anniversary I find Edwin Muir’s poem (The Way) particularly apt and poignant. The photos are a mix of then and now.
