It was such a beautiful November day in the UK today that this poem by Jeffery Harrison felt particularly apt.

As you read perhaps spare a thought, and a penny or two, to help those whose lives have been turned upside down from some rather more inclement weather.

I hope you had an enjoyable Remembrance Sunday in the Autumn sunshine.

It’s a gift, this cloudless November morning

warm enough for you to walk without a jacket

along your favorite path. The rhythmic shushing

of your feet through fallen leaves should be

enough to quiet the mind, so it surprises you

when you catch yourself telling off your boss

for a decade of accumulated injustices,

all the things you’ve never said circling inside you.

It’s the rising wind that pulls you out of it,

and you look up to see a cloud of leaves

swirling in sunlight, flickering against the blue

and rising above the treetops, as if the whole day

were sighing, Let it go, let it go,

for this moment at least, let it all go.
