This small park in Perranporth is a regular meeting place for locals.
I felt honoured to be taken into their world
while I waited to get into church behind the park

Go slowly enough to notice
The different kinds of time
The changing light

Maybe it’s because I’m more relaxed outside
Where no introduction is required
and it’s enough to be ‘just a guy taking a walk’ –
but I’ve met some lovely people this way
and shared some special moments.
I’ll keep walking
and sharing moments
outside
and perhaps our paths will cross
Where are you most at home?
