The Nation that you are, or have become….
Rooted~Sometimes, especially in the mellow light of Autumn, when the sky is a happy azure, and clouds look like white candy floss, I get a smell. A familiar whiff, most unexpectedly, in the middle of my chores.

In perspectives and outlooks
In life, far far beyond brick and mortar remains..
In the effervescence of living life…

To her parents house really.
Along with her children
To be pampered and loved.
