Greg you took a beautiful olive tree and surrounded it with a beautiful cathedral and presented both entwined in your beautiful uplifting poem.
Full honours deservedly given and thank you for writing and sharing a poetic voice of much needed soothing calm.

That is in the South of France, say east of Avignon, South of the Mont Ventoux and North of Marseille. In fact, look up the Luberon (mountain range) and you found it. My wife went to school there from fifteen till eighteen. Glad she decided to come to Amsterdam too to study English lit (like I did at the same time). Won a wife and a marvelous holiday destination šŸ¤£
