Swarthmoor

'Swarthmoor' by Judith Line

This is where history speaks through the present,

opens up new possibilities:

we cross-fertilise,

plant and nurture vulnerable

seedling thoughts.

In space, in peace,

with time and patience we wait to discern

the hour to plant out new

ideas, freed to explore

with new companions fields

of unsuspected fertility.

This poem is dedicated to those Friends who attended a ‘Good Practice in Nominations’ course at Swarthmoor Hall in Cumbria in 2016.
