A Beautiful Place



A remote corner of a field, away from the traffic of feet
or wheels; where blackthorn, elder and briar have twisted
in old age into a tunnel sheltering a stand of primroses in
March, bluebells in May, foxgloves in July. A spring, an
unplumbable brown eye gazing out of the earth, a stream
taking its clear water to the fields.

A place where beauty does not demand awe nor wrench the
soul from your body, but finds its place within your soul.
A place you remember though have never been; that will
return to you at unexpected moments like memories of home.
