As my war quietly settles

I still dig deep for victory

Every day can have small triumphs 

Magical moments to celebrate 

Perhaps in time I will dig the soil 

Pant some bluebells and snowdrops –

Digging deep inside yields treasure 

How lucky I still can

    To be able to garden is a true blessing, Jae. I’d go mad without it.

    So glad to see magical moments in your quadrille, Jae, especially bluebells and snowdrops, which grow in my garden.

    Mayve it is only when realization that war has no victors we may appreciate that settling down is the only way forward.

    You put it so well, Jae. There’s so much to be gained in “small triumphs” of the day, small triumphs that reveal more of our inner strength and courage.
