R.S.Thomas is one of my favourite poets and the silence my main means of meditation. So combining the two had to be a winner for me. Many times I have stood where Thomas stood silently looking out to sea. Maybe it was here that he fathomed the depth of this poem. Regards; Michael. Hi Ivan.

A truly beautiful documentary that I'd recommend if you or others haven't seen it. And yes, the glimpse of that life that this film give us is yet another of the wonders of the modern world! And overdue thanks for introducing me to RS Thomas. best wishes to all Sylvia Hello Ivan,

And overdue thanks for introducing me to RS Thomas.
