I feel guilty I haven't explained this long absence until now, but, rest assured, I am well, though things have been in turmoil in my private, family and emotional life. Also I've been living abroad and haven't been able to connect to broadband until this very day! I can't really go into much detail about this publicly at the moment. I doubt if I'll be seeing Dylan, unfortunately. I remember your description of the concert you enjoyed so much in Seattle last year. My thoughts have been with you too - and I hope your eyesight is much better now. I hope to post something on my blog very soon!The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-60375306609706906902015-06-24T16:29:27.143+01:002015-06-24T16:29:27.143+01:00From my perspective today, Michael Donaghy's p...From my perspective today, Michael Donaghy's poetry seems to have a kinship with Joni Mitchell's lyrics, and I am as moved as I was in April. I had cataract surgery on my left eye on the day before you posted this and couldn't read well until the second week of June when I finally got my new prescription lenses.<br /><br />Will you be going to see Bob Dylan in concert in October? That concert I went to last November in Seattle was the best ever. <br /><br />What a shock to realize that you haven't posted since April 21. You've been in my thoughts. Have been thinking you'd be posting any day now.<br /><br />I am feeling some concern, realizing it's been a long time since you posted on your blog.amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212213177713917828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-56788170301147771632015-04-25T18:54:57.198+01:002015-04-25T18:54:57.198+01:00What a beautiful, subtle poem that is.
