Snatched from a bench in the sun at Hay
Ignored by passers by most ignorantly
Now freighted in rucksack promisingly
Lovingly hidden away for secret reading
session on holidayyyy 


Journal Entry 5 by Kurjak at Hay on Wye, Herefordshire United Kingdom on Monday, July 05, 2010

8 out of 10

I journeyed with Sweeney twixt
Christianity and Celtic paganism
between sin and repentance
Sweeney as Job, King Lear, Nebuchadnezar
Cursed and Blessed
Thrown down, raised up
Flying between weakness and obligation
Shrouded in green came redemption
From courage came reconciliation.
The hand that made the otter's paw
Healed Sweeney of his willful madness

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Sweeney now roosts on the fridge at the tea rooms brooding and resentful amongst all this tea drinking. But one day when the wind is howling off the Atlantic and the tea is strong and milky tan, someone may release him and send him east again.
