In this collection of 161 poems, Victoria R. Hazlehurst looks back at 65 wonderful years of her life. She looks outward at the splendor, beauty, power, and joy of the world around her, and inwards with conflict, love, grief and wisdom. By following her back to the wild English countryside of her youth, and forward to the breathtaking landscape of British Columbia, Canada, we are reminded to embrace each moment, to find that special connection with other human beings, to pay attention to the ordinary - rattling teacups, oak trees, steam trains, family time - because these are all facets of the ever-changing whole that is life.
