That’s the icing, and it’s a profound, yet gentle reminder to step off the damn hamster wheels!

The first photo is stuck in my mind since you published this. So much so that I got a poem triggered out of it.

Amazing! I love the idea that my photography could do that - be great to see it and if you want to post it with the image then feel free!

Thank you Donn - I find the reading a bit of a struggle sometimes - but I love to hear others read their poetry and so I figured I should try and get over my self-consciousness and just do it! And thank you too about the photographs. I seem to have quite a few London underground images!
