Road Trip

Sadly, my Grandfather-in-law passed away this week, which meant a road trip home to Auckland to be with family and attend the funeral.

We discovered that travelling long distance in a car with two small children is challenging/foolish/a logistical nightmare. However, the scenery, as always in New Zealand, was beautiful.

These things have also inspired me this week;

This tutorial which I look forward to making.

And the following poem...

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
