All that breath From the moment of birth how
many cubic metres? The Amazon
forest churning out life thousands of miles
away The magic of symbiosis
of give and take
Take nothing for granted
Gertrude sits within four walls composing
her psalms and Alice patiently observes
as she embroiders a fine linen nap-
kin Abandon a garden and the house
is bigger At dinner the beef was carved
as a kind consideration Much plea-
sure was had on all sides of the table
Outside fresh flowers flourished in the warm
sunshine A gentle breeze
brought gentle rain
