A photograph of beautiful calligraphy in black and blue ink on cream paper of my words: My breath is briefly taken away as I stop to notice the tiny diamond pattern on the trunk of a White Poplar tree in Hyde Park, and for the first time see in it the almost-echo of its leaves. A photograph of beautiful calligraphy in black ink on cream paper of my words: Through the window the fading light paints shadow leaves across my wall.
