I just saw roots immediately instead of the branches on Christine's photograph, and it drew me in from there. SS, hope you managed to get in touch with Susan from the link I sent you. Not feeling poetic at the moment - have crammed six days' work into four at the office so far this week and am faced with a train strike tomorrow. Oh dear, moan, moan! Thank you all.

It's something I work at, so my comments would seem feeble in the light of your piece! The intrusion is that I would love the blogsite of The Ironic Catholic - Susan Daoust - she did the piece on Northwoods Contemplative site a month or so ago; about the Amish, forgiveness, etc. She's written me a reply to one of my posts regarding her piece and I want to comment upon it....? Happen to have her contact info? I can't find NWC anymore either; sabbatical from public blogging? Warmest regards, SS Tess, please forgive my intrusion on this beautiful poem that you have written – I’m not great at often interpreting or really understaending poetry.

Wonderful. Thanks for the contribution! I really love this poem Tess, the first and last lines are especially strong images to me — the hidden underside of things and ice so cold it is fire.
