A taste of the poetry...
Acquaint yourself with quiet,
recognise the need in you for rest,
not to recover from that which is done
but to prepare for what is to come.
The still place is where everything collects.
Rest is the beginning, not the end.
- from the poem Rest
Start your journey home today.
