Picnic basket and summer sun

[alee_grrl]

Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic. It's probably been a long week, and it's lovely to have a few minutes to sit back and relax and enjoy some good conversation in a less formal space. Feel free to bring something for the Picnic Basket - a poem you liked this week, a thought you had or something you experienced, or even something completely unrelated to poetry whatsoever that you just feel like sharing. Just take a moment to say hello, and maybe have a bite to eat; no one is going anywhere fast, and the shade promises some relief from the everyday heat. Let’s get to know each other a bit better, here under the branches of the poet’s tree.

I think sometimes we all need to hear something like this, whether we believe in God or gods or the simple inexorable timelessness of nature. It's so easy to wrap ourselves up in petty concerns of what those around us think of us that we forget that we don't have to be petty. There's a whole universe out there.

Thank you for this.
