This is such a beautiful invitation to reconnect with curiosity, Sarah. And I’m curious about your memoir. It’s going to be lovely to order it when it’s ready. I saw myself in your description of writing everything down, the easy and the tough, then re-reading and realising that sometimes it’s just for yourself. Also, the comfort that it’s down on paper and you needn’t think about it anymore. It’s such a beautiful process 🤍

Thank you for having my poem in this beautiful letter, Sarah. ✨

A beautiful invitation around the waning Gibbous moon to consider what we are ready to let go of, Sarah. I took this quite literally this week and shared some really unpoetic pics with my members over in Chat of some stuff that's been sitting in my garden for two years following roof repairs. I've walked past these remnants every day; probably weeded round them in all honesty! The other day, it was the work of mere moments to deal with them. Loving seeing their similar pics and hearing their stories of shedding!

On a more spiritual level, this Sunday marks a week since we said a final goodbye to my dad. He died last June, but we were somewhat slow in scattering the ashes. Done now, and also feeling that I was ready to do it. Maybe I wouldn't have been last year?
