Book Illustration by Louis Rhead
if he lived but at all
in the free Lincoln green
no real idol or rogue
but some stature between
neither merry nor dour
with above average rate
as an archer with friends
and a sheriff to bait
more than likely a lad
who fell into the trawl
of peasantry hungry
for a hero in thrall

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

Drove across Sherwood just the other day on may way to the hotel where my wife had her IPad stolen – you’ve got me thinking now was it Robin Hood who nicked it!

Poses the question, is theft permissible if rule is unjust? Tend to think, myself, that if there were no other option I’d pick up my bow and arrow and have a go! And I like forests. And green is my favourite colour. Made for the job, methinks. 😉
