Planning rural trips again. The weather is still cold but for the most part the days are sunny. And the pandemic seems to be diminishing just now. So maybe it’s time to go out and hike to keep warm. In any case I’ve bought a new pair of hiking shoes in hopes of doing some trail walking soon. Meanwhile preparing a text on Virginia Woolf for publication.
Not every journey is downhill........ A view of one of the entrances to Antoni Gaudí's beautiful Parc Güell. Not a bad place for inspiration, like many parks. And then, it occurs, sometimes going downhill is more strenuous than going up.
Much thanks to De Luge Journal for publishing one of my recent poems in the Winter 2021/22 Issue.
I admire DLJ's project and feel sure others will as well. So please look in and consider contributing to future numbers. The url:

The harsh times we live in these days make imaginative dreaming a big plus, it seems to me. The way to better times in more ways than one.......
A view of the River Sègre in Lleida, from 2019, as December of that year closed. With luck and the continued global fight against Covid-19 we'll be able to spend time walking the river again from the city.
Good health to all !

First posted, some may remember, on December 25, 2014. Happy Holidays to All !!
Some of my recent poems are in the current issue of Danse Macabre (Number 139, Les Tretze Dèsserts). I hope people will look into this and previous issues of DM and by all means certainly consider participating.
Meanwhile thanking the magazine's editorial staff for including me. Below is a link:

El riu Sègre, a prop de la confluència Noguera-Pallaresa (principis d'octubre, caminant...)
Near the Noguera-Pallaresa confluence (on a walk in early October). Great memories of a sunny day, from today's cloud covered Barcelona........
