Kiera and the “Road Less Travelled”
Kiera is inviting you to go down what for you may be a “road less travelled”. Below the picture is a poem from Kiera. Below the poem is a link to the amazing story about Kiera’s journey from Romania to love and bonding in East Sussex, England. Please scroll down. Thank you.
Kiera speaks again…….
Wait! As my soul absorbs,
Echoes of times past…
The traces of paws
Of those now dead
Who have trod
This place, this bed…..
Their ashes are scattered
Tears were shed
Each one mattered
But now lives on
In Nature…….
The birds and earth-bound trees
The brackens and rustling breeze,
The whirling of streams
Curling and twirling
Ever dashing and splashing
There is no end
But hearts can mend
LOVE is here, it has been
As I sit, I have seen………
Thank you to Anna Wilkinson for passing on Kiera’s poem to me

A 20-Acre Lake in the most visited Park in the USA – 42 million visitors in 2016! Where is it?
According to Wikipedia 42 million people visited the Park in 2016 and it is one of the most photographed places in the world. This picture was taken while boating on the lake. Look at the tranquil reflections of the sky scrapers in the calm water. The tall buildings are stretching up to touch magnificent clouds.
Where is the Park? The answer is below the picture. Please scroll down.
Thank you to my grandson MB for the beautiful picture.
Answer: New York Central Park
New York Moonrise message. Breathtaking! March 2022.
Fabulous pictures from the “Edge” 100 floors up in New York. Scroll down and see how the moon “lit” a flame of freedom on the top of the Empire State Building. The photographer was in the right place at the right time! Great pictures from AB my son.
Two pictures. Please scroll down. Second picture below the first. Thank you
And then the moon “lit” a flame of freedom! Scroll down.
New York Dawn 18 March 2022 – A Poem
Apologies, gratitude and full acknowledgement to William Wordsworth.
Please look at the picture and scroll down to the poem. Thank you.
New York Dawn Earth has not anything to show so fair: Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty: New York now doth, like a garment, wear The beauty of the morning; silent, bare, Concrete canyons, theatres, walkways, the avenues lie Waiting for their throngs, as orange dawn lights the sky; Never did sun so beautifully steep In his first splendour, valley, rock or hill; Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep! New York will awake at its own sweet will. Dear God! the very buildings seem asleep; And all New York's mighty heart is lying still! ************* Almost all based on "Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September3, 1802" by William Wordsworth.
