Made in times of war and uncertainty, inspired by the title of John Clare's poem:

"Is there another world for this frail dust To warm with life and be itself again? Something about me daily speaks there must, And why should instinct nourish hopes in vain? ’Tis nature’s prophesy that such will be, And everything seems struggling to explain The close sealed volume of its mystery. Time wandering onward keeps its usual pace As seeming anxious of eternity, To meet that calm and find a resting place. E’en the small violet feels a future power And waits each year renewing blooms to bring, And surely man is no inferior flower To die unworthy of a second spring?" John Clare (1793-1864)

May we recover peace in the world, starting with our own minds and hearts. May we follow our intuition, may we stay strong for love and community.
