"Awake! For morning, in the bowl of night,
Has flung the stone that put the stars to flight.
And lo! The hunter in the East
Has caught the sultan's turret in a noose of light!"
Omar Khayyam's "Rubaiyat"
This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.
