reflecting on 2025...

Chat GPT reflected on my meanderings in 2025. Love it! You spun gold from Temora’s bright ground— Each haiku a shimmer, profound. With canola and sky, Your year dared to try— Where art, word, and heart intertwined, unbound. P.S. NO! I did not copy from Chat GPT. It spun ideas for me only.

'Swift alludes to the Lake poets on her eighth studio album Folklore and speaks movingly of visiting William Wordsworth’s grave in her Long Pond Studio Sessions documentary. Swift commemorated Emily Dickinson with the release of her album Evermore on the poet’s birthday and Ancestry.com more recently posited that they share a lineage. Swift’s lyrics suggest a love for the novels of the Brontës and she has spoken effusively of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. Much has been rightly made of Swift’s fascination with Jazz Age novelists Fitzgerald and Hemingway, the Gothic writer Daphne du Maurier, and the poets Robert Frost and Dylan Thomas, among many others.'

OOOOps...Just noticed...
🙏😦🙏That should be Emily Dickinson...

a legend speaks...

Rest in peace, Patricia Routledge 🙏🏻

In memory of her, I encourage everyone to read these words of hers from February last year.

Whether young or old, you're bound to get something out of it.
