So many wonderful and memorable poems and poets in this podcast, Damien. It is wonderful that I am starting my day thinking of daffodils and dancing–somehow those two poems stuck in my mind.

Daffodils and dancing- delicate and simple and yet it’s been so long! It’s lovely to see at least the shoots returning even if they are extraordinarily early. And as for dancing, well, a soft shuffle around the house every now and then gets you through. Hope you’re well my friend ☘️💚

We had a bit of snow…only a couple of inches. It turned into frozen rain and ice pellets, so was not at all suitable for snow angels, alas. I am doing well, though must confess that I have been dancing on my own, to borrow the words of the song initially released by Robyn, though I prefer the cover version sung by Calum Scott. 🙂
