You expected a poem ° celebrating Equinox. ° I offer you a maple leaf ° on an open page.

An open handmade book with a pressed fallen maple leaf on the left (glued on a painted background) and the word September in calligraphy on the facing page

Seasons, senses & self 22/365:
Nudging you to... write? reflect? walk? notice? flow?

Many thanks to my friend Noreen who has allowed me to use this image. She creates handmade books from a variety of (often recycled) materials, and practices calligraphy. You can see more of her work here: instagram.com/blueheronjourneywoman

My words today were partly inspired by A Blade of Grass, a rather Zen-like poem by Brian Patten, which begins
You asked for a poem
I offer you a blade of grass.
