Spotted this sign on a toilet at Gatwick yesterday. I like seeing these words in public spaces. A great reminder and educator. --- P.s. It would be good to see this phrase in supermarket car parks where people using the disabled spaces are sadly often harassed.

A toilet door sign with the words "Not every disability is visible".

Above it are three common silhouette symbols - a person using a wheelchair, a person wearing a dress, and a person wearing trousers.

I've been reminded of one of my favourite poems today, The Summer Day by Mary Oliver. ...And breathe...

(A poem) - The Summer Day

Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?

This grasshopper, I mean—
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down—
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.

I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.

Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

—Mary Oliver

In heaven. Pies are in the oven, the fire is lit, the cats are relaxed, favourite CD is on, my love is playing along on guitar next to me, and I'm supping a beautiful Kraken and coke. Perfect relaxing Sunday evening
