So personal it heals the heart with its glimpses of other lives not as a srolling through images but through heartfelt moments -life is indeed beautiful 🙏

This gives me so much joy. The small things, the fleeting glimpses, the big moments, the funny bits - everything moves and turns and shifts. Our individual voices together as one.

What a wonderful idea you had of combining our observations and creating such a beautiful poem. I look forward to this end of month gift. And we do feel like a community spread over the lands.

Thank you!

The timing of this Beautiful April Poem couldn’t be better, as I sit in the garden taking a break from my preparations for Beltane. It not only paints a beautiful picture but each comment is heartfelt not just pure description. Love it, love it 💖🌸💖

It's so lovely Lia! I love seeing everyone's beautiful words again, remembering them from the first time and thinking perhaps mine won't be there this month, but that's ok and then there they are at the end 🙂

Thank you for putting together our lovely poem ❤️

I love the variety of ways we describe the things we notice.

I keep a nature noticing journal each evening and having this as a daily/weekly/monthly practice definitely encourages me to really notice more and savour the moments.

Reading our Poem is like holding a multi faceted jewel in your hands - and looking through the lens at the distilled essence of the month, captured in many individual moments of joy and personal observation. A treasure and a very great blessing. Thank you everyone - I love our tribe!
