Inspired by late spring, early summer visits to Hampstead Ladies Pond, a magical restorative oasis in the city. The title is adapted from the poem
‘When I am among the trees’ by Mary Oliver

…"Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, “Stay awhile.”
The light flows from their branches.

And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say,
“and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine.”
