Any boater who is faced with the prospect of numerous locks ahead will know how wonderful it is to find someone who is prepared to take on ‘lock-wheeling’ duties. This episode takes some time out to reflect on the podcast as well as explore the many listeners who have become tireless lock-wheelers for it.
Journal entry:
10th February, Friday
“Ice skates lines across the water.
A thin brittle veneer that cannot hold
The oak’s reflection.
The morning sun sets fire to the reeds.
I am dazzled by their flame.
My own, canal-side, burning bush,
Sans angel.”
