Morning Light for the week starting 19/01/26. "Send word, snowdrop, child, light"from "Psalm Eighty- Eight Blues" - Diana HendryIn her beautiful poem, "Psalm Eighty eight blues", Diana Hendry speaks of a situation "When all hope's been cancelled..." and offers a solution, "send word,. snowdrop, child, light". When the world seems a very tough place, it helps to focus on the simple things of life which reflect nature and offer solace, and which it is very easy to take for granted.Edinburgh University Medical School is celebrating its 300 year anniversary and this poem appeared in the first edition, in 2014, of "Tools of the Trade" the little book of poetry for new doctors, published by the Scottish Poetry Library and still gifted to all Scottish medical graduates.Wishing you (despite everything) a good, happy and hopeful new year.
