Thank you for your commentary on the subject of pilgrimage. I entirely agree with you that there is a greater degree of fulfilment in going on a pilgrimage under your own stem.

Ha...good point! More 4-line stimulation from this source.
And as with that "Garden of Eden" we grapple,
What came first - the seed or the apple?

I like the positivity in these lines even when the "solo traveller" in me
is ready to resort to the advantages of self-determination.

A great reminder of the importance of journey to pilgrimage. Nowadays people use horses or cars to speed up their progress but the real pleasure is always preserved for those who work to reach with their own determination.

Thank you Keith, Cathy, Shifa and the two Stephens. Yes, Keith, tumbling down hill is just exactly what I tried to achieve in this poem - a tumbling out of thoughts and feelings and sense impressions. Often poems treat of a single discrete moment of vision. I wanted to show such connected moments all mixed up together. The ongoing tragedy of the genocide against the pre-Islamic communities still clinging on in the middle east is ignored by western media. It is these communities - the Yezedis, the Assyrian Christians, the Zoroastrians, the Copts, the Maronites - who we should be welcoming to our countries.

It's a Brit concept. The loo roll (toilet paper) on ice is for the inevitable outcome of eating lashings of chillies...

"with lashings of chillies
and loo roll on ice"...

what does this mean?

Is it a Brit expression
or something you took
from a highway billboard
or a recipe book?
?

John,

This poem left me emotionally breathless. The final photo nearly brought me to tears. As I read these words I felt as if I were tumbling along down a hill. Does that make any sense? Once again you have excelled yourself for which I thank you.
