Hello Lovelies,
I must apologise, I missed my usual letter yesterday as I ended up in hospital last week until late last night.
All is fine, and not as worrying as it first seemed, but I have many appointments to attend so I can find the root cause of the problems. I also need to explore ways in which to tend and garden my life, as this experience has woken me up to some pruning needed, and some love, care and seeds needing to be sown.
It’s pretty amazing how quickly life can change, how suddenly we can be plunged into a whole new reality. At one point I was wondering if I needed to write letters to loved ones, to let them know how beautiful and amazing they are to me before I leave this life, it made me look deep into the heart of things, into how I spend my days, remember what is dear to me, what is sacred and wonder what I was doing, in the words of Mary Oliver, with this one wild and precious life.
This life is so precious and beautiful and soulful and hard. I love it dearly, and I would like to try to not take it for granted and to let myself more than ever, follow the golden thread that runs through it all.
The thread that sparks with life and speaks to my soul and awakens my heart, the thread that is my passions, my integrity, my curiosity and wonderment.
Thank you for being here, and I will be back in full writing form by the end of the week.
Much warmth and love

Finally, on my way to yes
I bump into
all the places
where I said no
to my life
all the untended wounds
the red and purple scars
those hieroglyphs of pain
carved into my skin, my bones,
those coded messages
that send me down
the wrong street
again and again
where I find them
the old wounds
the old misdirections
and I lift them
one by one
close to my heart
and I say
holy
holy.
