some feathered creatures
twist cumbersome shapes
into cumbersome poses
and yet secure

personal struggle with no answer...

It happens outside this site too, Anne. I am a 75 year old ex secondary English/History teacher-retired. I began my retirement in hospital. Getting back to living has been a battle. My son-in-law demeans/makes fun of me constantly, often in front of his children. So far I'm calm.

📷Cool autumn morning at Blairgowrie Beach on the Mornington Peninsula. It would have been my Dad's birthday today. I lost him many a year ago when I was just 12. So wish I could have really known him. pic.twitter.com/Ib01e9RHil
