This is absolutely gorgeous - love your gentle, wise words here. ‘Judge something by the peace it brings’ so inspiring and true. I was just about to write the word divine regarding the picture and smiled when I saw your comments to Eve. There we go again - same thoughts! Those birds are stunning aren’t they! I can’t take my eyes off them. I want to gentle kiss their little heads - I’ve never seen such colourful, dear little birds. I so enjoyed this quintella ( new form to me)

Las I have missed you. Will be back to reading your wonderful poetry soon. I have read much but only from stealing moments away from our visitors. I will catch up with my comments. Right now, thank you so much for your exquisite praise. One day I am sure I will write well enough to be deserving of it. Best wishes from Wen.

Am in a misty mood this morning Susan as my Granddaughter returns home to the USA soon and I didn't think I could miss her more than I did, but I was wrong. Your wonderful comment just shook me back to the wonderful world around me, with people like you to reach out and offer sunshine. You made my day. I thank you so very much. Best wishes from SV
