* Nancy, >> https://theelephantstrunk.org/
* David, >> W/reck, or: W/reckless – The Skeptic’s Kaddish 🇮🇱

Hi Nancy, the photo is of St Helens Beach and Jetty on Corio Bay, only 4 km down the road from my place … At the moment I’m “computered out”, and hopefully things be betterer in the morning … whoops, it’s already morning … damn, I’ll be exhausted by then …

Ivor, your closing lines—“please show me the way / Through the misty sea spray / And beyond the Blue Jay Causeway”—feel like a gentle plea wrapped in morning light from where I’m sitting. The whole piece strikes me as searching yet strangely soothing.
