One comes to realise that nothing really matters, and yet what joy to see the Common Blue butterfly, to taste our first blackberry of the season, and experience all the seemingly simple moments of life. Another joy for those of us who work alone or live alone is knowing there is someone out there listening and connecting with us or our work.
