Dr. Nicole LePera Poverty keeps people enslaved & 'busy', rather than being able to explore passions & contribute to the greater good.

Being in a constant state of survival stunts your ability to achieve your full potential.

This is not only a personal tragedy, but a loss for society as a whole.

On the park railings,
lichens gather in witness,
along and beside.

On the park railings,
layers of paint peel away,
the marks humans leave.

First weekend and day of half term, inhale a book, so poignant and powerful that you feel a sense of loss finishing it. Love your word Viv.

The layers wear away,
to reveal a concrete heart,
found by my daughter.

The leaf wears last year,
a gown of fine patina,
between earth and air.

In the frozen trough,
feathers remember the sky,
and dream of flying.

In understory,
plants cooperate and weave,
new calligraphy.

Tiny ice tendrils,
rise on the bodies of leaves,
water's memory.

Grasses wait here,
sunlight sparkling on frost,
wonder in plain sight.

An area of Britain's uplands twice the size of Greater London is exploited for grouse shooting.

Help us turn grouse moors into wild moors. Follow us and join the movement to ensure these spaces are unlocked for nature, climate and people.

Life stirs under ice,
not quite yet sings bright cold,
extend the dreaming.

Like a fairy wing,
perfectly dangled at eye level,
mapping the trackways.

In a tiny church,
spreading news of light returning,
from the window ledge.

Skeleton leaf hangs,
I have witnessed it decay,
to reveal bones.

At the well's edges,
moss stands, verdant guardian,
catching Imbolc light.
