Berwick Upon Tweed 2008
The last 2 weeks in September were our “summer holiday”. The weather during the first 2 weeks of September had been grim, with flooding affecting parts of the UK, so we packed our warm clothes and waterproofs and headed off to Berwick Upon Tweed.
As ever we got lucky with the weather! More tales of the holiday to come, but i have to concentrate on revision until the 14th of October…more photos can be found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/wildgeese71/
Wild Geese – Mary Oliver
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
