The wet season is drawing slowly to a close. The ground is still soaked. The Paperbarks are finishing their flowering. Humidity and stillness are partners in my morning walks. I haver been reading Dilip Kumar Roy who even though was writing about a different part of the world seems to share some emotions with all walkers in much the same way.
“…For whom throng still the murmuring bees,
Restless amid the perfumed trees?
Whose memory thrills the impassioned breeze
And paints the magic skies?...”
