Kirstie, I am so grateful to Substack for bringing your words and your heart into my world. across two oceans and many tradewinds, I drink in your words and they fill me with breath, with ease, remind my heart: "stay here for a moment, there is enough space for you to be soft, there is enough time to be still."
Thank you Toni for your beautiful comment. I too am so grateful for your words, and the way Substack connects us and makes room to share our creative work.
Such a lot here KIrstie. Marvellous. What it takes to 'step out of numb' and to 'put down the stone.' All the ambivalences. But through them all, the connection. Thank you. Yes, I missed hearing you read, but on the other hand, snoring dogs, that made me laugh.
Dear Carolyn, thank you for the word ‘ambivalence.’ Yes. And yes, connection like a gold-line through that fog. I put a recording up retrospectively, with no dog-snoring. ✨
Hi Steve, ha yes, a week hurtles by. I’ll give it a try for a month to see how it goes. Yes ‘A Water Cycle’ is interesting, in-line with your fabulous Fithie poems perhaps, trying to capture the sound and personality of a river in words

Definitely maybe. Good one. :)
A lot does indeed happen in the pauses.
Once a week sounds like quite a bit to keep up! Be interesting to see ‘A Water Cycle’ when that is possible. Best wishes for your reading. :)

Yes please to once a week, I love your words, and you!
A voiceover of ‘Connect’ added just for you Liz Abbott. Thank you for your encouragement.
Dear Liz, thank you so much! Encouragement definitely helps me to put the poems out there. Thank you.
All we need now is your voice reading them, a podcast maybe? Xxx
Ha! I tried to record a voiceover this afternoon, but the dogs kept snoring in the background. I’ll try again at some point soon.
