Castles in the Sky

Back on the route to relax

Hello everyone; it has been a while! I hope you are all well. I have been busy with work and the day to day chores of life. Yet I hope to focus once again on this website and finding and sharing ways to relax. Whilst I prepare other pages and posts; I would like to share this photo of a great cloud formation I spotted on a cold autumn day. It reminded me of a poem by Atticus:

What poems and songs enter your mind as you walk along? I hope you are all well and feeling relaxed.
Peace
