The Last Days of Anne Boleyn

BBC2 is showing a documentary called, "The Last Days of Anne Boleyn." While the US will have to wait for this to air on television or to buy the DVD, the lucky Brits can watch it now.

The Tudors are my favorite favorite history to read, watch, and see, so this is one I'll be looking forward to buying. You can never have too much of the Tudors.

Joy

I will never tire of the wind,
be it a cold winter blast
that takes me off guard
with it's bitterness,
or an exhilarating spring or
fall tempest that sweeps me away.
I get caught up in it every time,
...it's as if the wind is calling
my name to come out and play.
The trees become my cohorts,
...those gentle giants that sway
back and forth with delight,
as they gracefully bend to and
fro - they get caught up every time,
too, and are surely clapping their
hands in mirth.
In these moments, I am a
beautiful bird who was made for nothing more than ascending
to the heights where the currents await me. Joy.

For the beauty of the earth
