Nested




Maybe you’re no longer interested,
reading tea leaves, smoke signals in exhausts,
blind, groping roads and high ropeways to lost,
there’s nothing above the clouds once they’re crested.
Stand by, stand firm on this patch you’ve wrested -
there will be time later to count the costs,
the stuff to keep apart, the stuff to be tossed,
the decades, like matryoshka dolls, are nested.






I'm back and in all the hullabaloo of travelling I'd forgotten about the A-Z, the sign up opened on the 1st. It's a landmark year,  ten years for a blog event is quite epic by any standard. Have to record my admiration and appreciation for the team. Signed up  but not even halfway there - so far,2019 hasn't been one serene retreat let's say. Am beginning to panic. Just a little. But that's all part of the A-Z. Who else will be there I wonder?

  1. Hi Nila - love the 'nested' in your wrested patch. I may well not do the A-Z ... so am waiting to see how life develops ... but it's been excellent to be around ... and I loved the early years ... see you soon and welcome back - cheers Hilary

    1. Travelling is always fun, more fun than bloghops I'm sure. But I've never found out exactly, because I'm too greedy - I pack and take my bloghops with me while travelling :)

  4. Wow, I hadn't realized the A-Z was so near. I'm not sure yet if I'll join in.

  5. I am not signing up but I look forward to reading your posts.
    I like the smoke signals in exhaust - conjures up an image and I'll think of it tomorrow as I sit in traffic.
