Meditations & Reflections
Poems and prayers from morning to night, the title poem inspired by an insight of Julian of Norwich. From the first cup of tea in the morning as the recycling lorry trundles down the street to those final random thoughts before we drop off at night. As the children grow up and someone we love dies; as we rage against life and love brings us home.
