Making the most of life



 
'If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it'
Kipling
 
We began as we intend to continue and on the first morning of the year walked down to the beach where, despite the wind and hail, Rufus barked and caught at the foam and we 'laughed like the waves of the sea'.

Landfall by Kathleen Jamie






When we walk at the coast





and notice, above the sea,







a single ragged swallow







veering towards the earth-







and blossom scented breeze,







can we allow ourselves to fail.
