The Essentials of Living Violet Rook. Inspiration Violet Rook →. Connecting Thoughts Violet Rook. March 10, 2010. 8220;Walk where it’s light”, I was told, someone remembering that just last autumn, I had torn a ligament in my knee. It seemed a straight forward phrase. After sunset on these dark winter evenings the sky is an inky blue with sparkling stars, the air gets colder and any hint of water freezes on pavements and grass.

May 6, 2010. The stone building seemed like a castle nestling on a hillside as I drove down a steep hill. Look at that view, the mountains tops have snow on them.

She was not out of breath, and looked used to the steep. Climb Her face seemed unmoved by her surroundings, just looking at her shoes and dusting her coat with. In writing is...

Food For The Soul. Writing Heals Violet Rook →. A Poetry Day Gathering For Heroes Violet Rook. October 13, 2009. What can one do for Poetry Day? I wondered a few weeks ago. Then before I realised it Poetry Day was the next day and I panicked. I got an email from a friend about an evening event and quickly searched to find it. With a sign of relief I sat down to do my bit for the cause. Would it make sense? Somehow I acquired courage to stand up and read from the page in front of me. Food For The Soul.

Connecting Thoughts Violet Rook. Imagination Violet Rook →. March 15, 2010. I sat at the window one night looking up at the moon. It was a bright light in a dark sky. The first line was “The moon floats on a silver sheen”. Once done I hurried up the stairs to my parents big bedroom and sat again at the window.

The car temperature gauge read -7 degrees, the inside of the car was a little warmer. The frost laden trees glisten in the pale sunlight of an early dawn. The road was empty winding out in front of me round and round into the mountains of the Cairngorms. I had to stop to take a p. Was this happening in so many other big cities around the country?
