"Nit nitay garabam", as the saying goes in Wolof, "people are people's medicine" so Serafina and I travel by foot, bike and flight in search of adventure, mostly deep in Nature but also in urban spaces.

Oxford ... exhaled the soft airs of centuries of youth. It was this cloistral hush which gave our laughter its resonance, and carried it still, joyously, over the intervening clamour” - Evelyn Waugh



Serafina and I got up before dawn to take part in the ancient Beltane celebrations. At first light, we

Walking the streets of Oxford is never dull. Suddenly beautiful people appear as if from nowhere, dancing in the streets like Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, spreading so much joy and flourishing:

And so Serafina and I were back to chasing flowers at dawn... Lately we have been exploring Chinese poetry from the Tang dynasty, and as we walked along in the woods above the river, Serafina reminded me of the poem by Du Fu (杜甫, 712–770)

On a windy Easter day where the sun decided to come out only occasionally, we first ran our usual 5km morning ParkRun, full of smiles and joy. We then cycled north along the Oxford canal. It is a route I have taken many times before. And invariably we stopped by Shipton-on-Cherwell, where Mike Oldfield

Back in the Ox, the cherry blossom trees were busy worshipping the sun and as night started falling Serafina started reciting a prayer for spring:

And give us not to think so far away

As the uncertain harvest; keep us here

All simply in the springing of the

It felt like one of those days in early spring where the sun comes out from time to time, and where spring is poised and ready. Clearly not long now before everything will start to bloom...



But meanwhile, Serafina and I walked along together; dawn and dusk acting like bookends:

But the fog would not lift and instead my old stomping grounds felt almost mysterious. So once again I relied on Serafina to lift my spirits. She rose through the

The water felt like tears; with grief and sorrow once again invading our lives and everything feeling so heavy. With time, perhaps

When despair for the world grows in me

and I wake in the night at the least sound

I go and lie down where the wood drake

rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.

I come into the peace of wild things

Up at dawn at the Hawkwood estate near Stroud where we were spending time as part of our ongoing art project with a world famous band. In the past, I have often cycled to this enchanted part of the country, partly inspired by the poetry of Laurie Lee who grew up in nearby Slad.
