Tread Softly

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;  I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly, for you tread on my dreams.
William Butler Yeats


I love the tenderness in these lines, the gentleness of having shared your dreams and yourself with another, and trusting that your dreams will be safe.

So many black-backed gulls on the beach this morning - dozen of these beautiful birds being busy with finding their breakfast. This particular bird was picking its way very softly across the shallow water, looking for shellfish.

I had a very special blipmeet yesterday with LauraH, who lives in the larger Christchurch area and who I'd never met before. It's such a treat meeting up with other blippers and hearing their story!
