Birds to the rescue, as ever… They’re so much a part of it all… And thank you for the most beautiful swans photo, truly stunning; and the poem too!

Yes, the sanderling poem is incredibly beautiful and I might try to translate it to Malayalam, the language of Malayalis in Kerala, India

Dear Roselle, I enjoyed and got enriched by your love and compassion for the swans and all wild beings. Let them be wild and free, beautiful and robust and enliven and enrich our world. Let us learn to be more sane and sensitive, just and intelligent, compassionate and considerate to live in harmony with the wild beings and Gaia and become harmonious beings in the great Web of Life. Thank you Roselle. All my love and appreciation to you for your lyrical and evocative writings. Your sister Santhi

If one poem whose opening line eludes me (this one's too twee I think) counts! Thank you. x
