Maybe it’s because I am emerging from a time of grief, but this summer has been particularly beautiful. The way the flowers catch the light, the sound of tree branches rustling in a gentle breeze, even the intermittent sounds of saws and hammering - they all have a musical quality to them. That we can rebuild after a loss seems unthinkable at first, but it does happen, in its own time, depending on our own natural healing rhythm. I am through the numbness, so there are moments when sadness pops up like a jack-in-the-box, but my tears move it out into the garden where it adds sparkle to the life all around and within me. I do the work of mediumship because it can help people to engage with their lives after hardship. They may start to notice the many ways they are being supported along their journeys. Adding curiosity and wonder to our lives doesn’t magically take away grief or struggle but it does add light and space, so that there is possibility for creativity, movement, and release.
