Bluebells by Nan Shaw
I have seen bluebells in a wood, close formed, likewood smoke, bluer grown.
And I have watched them move their bells to ring blue changes in the joyous peal of Spring.
Blue changes, with a wistful note as though the swift, blue bird of happiness skimmed low
To whisper in each upturned listening ear and then,
With upward, curving sweep and dear quick flash of blue wings, fled into the dim, dissolving azure of the world’s far rim; his music lingering airborne in the breeze
In echoes through blue shadows ‘neath the trees.
We, too, can glimpse his swiftly passing flight,
We, too, must watch him sadly out of sight

14 March 2026 – a few of us gathered in church for a reflective spiritual morning based around growing closer to God through prayer.  Those who attended found it uplifting and appreciated the opportunity to spend fellowship time together away from the busyness of everyday life.  A summary of the morning is here.
