NOT SLEEPWALKING:

It’s not that I ignore the front pages or the
relentless bad news broadcasts, how can I not
be aware of horrors inflicted on my neighbours?
I seek balance daily just to be able to take part
in the world, to put one foot in front of the other,
to want to continue breathing. I’m looking for a light,
a little kindness & beauty to counteract some new
corrosive poison concocted in the night somewhere on this
fabulous planet whilst I was sleeping.
