sharing one of my all-time favorite poems and a beautiful tree from today’s walk - somehow, miraculously, it’s still spring

today's flower picture/poem duo, brought to you by Phillip Larkin:

rhododendron and Gerard Manley Hopkins, with bonus weird lens flair brought to you by me wiping condensation off my phone camera bc it was in my pocket during a run

today’s poem brought to you by the supremely talented @SaraKatherineM - i love it so much I want to eat it

“It's good to treasure the gift, but good
to see that it wasn't really meant for you.
The feeling that it couldn't have been otherwise
is just a feeling.”

O you
were the best of all my days

Poem found in today’s run around Wallingford

What a prize
you are. What a lucky sack of stars.
