​The sheer nerve of @annadillon.bsky.social to make such a familiar landmark this irresistible. Her viewpoint from Ivinghoe Beacon (at the end of The Ridgeway, looking toward the Whipsnade Lion) has never looked so captivating. Honestly, she leaves us breathless at every climb.

Anthem at Morning ~ Edward Ragg

How wonderful it would be
in this brightest of mornings

to walk in the clear light
not of possibility

but purpose and to sing
in that same clear light

of the purpose that
in all possibility is today.

(From A Force That Takes)
