NATURE KNOWS. each time I find myself in big nature I'm reminded that nature is my first teacher: of beauty, belonging, cycles and endurance. that I am a small part of the same we ❤️

SEEING OUR CAREGIVERS CLEARLY.⁣ ⁣

so I didn't think I was enlightened to begin with but was humbled nonetheless from my recent week away with my parents, our first trip together in over fifteen years. navigating unfamiliar spaces for long stretches at a time, rather than just our weekly meal together, made me realise how much my parents have aged. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
seeing their age squarely brought the uncomfortable truth that often shows up in sessions with clients: 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐞'𝐯𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐰, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐭. and wow, the grief that comes from really taking that in is something else...grief that I'm still digesting but I know that on the other side of this I'll be able to see my parents more clearly and calmly with adult, rather than tantrum-y child eyes 👁

SEEING AND BEING SEEN. today marks the end of the 21 day play music challenge by .world ✨️ and while I was already playing music everyday before this challenge, it has been an interesting experiment to have it be shared this way. made me think about how in all relationships how much we allow of ourselves to be seen, is the extent to which we get to be witnessed- a seemingly simple and obvious equation but quite a complex one to put into practice.
⁣
it's always a big yes for me to in-person community but this reminded me of the ways we can also feel held within a web of likehearted folk round the world as we witness each other...I love the image I get of all the people who participated in this challenge in their little corners of the world geeking out with their instruments the past three weeks. ⁣
⁣
social media is not my most natural habitat though and in sharing this way I've also come up against ideas I have around being good enough and being seen. and it has felt so helpful to just go ahead and share all those still forming, still learning parts of me anyway!

OCTOBER. has it felt like a very long month for you too? perhaps it being a birthday month or just sheer luck, I've had an extra dose of company I love this month ♥️ its reminded me how much being in the right company can help us remember and reconnect with what we love about ourselves and the world, and how much hope and healing happens in connection - in being seen we see ourselves more clearly too x

SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE AND SO LITTLE ENERGY TO GIVE IT WITH. some late night musings on relating after loss ♥️

SUNDAY STORYTIME. you know the sweet familiar feeling of re-encountering a book friend you've not met for a long while? I wanted to share this book that moved me when I first came across it more than a decade ago, may it bring you a sense of possibility of change, and maybe a reminder of how much children can teach us with their wonder ✨️

SHADOWS AND LIGHT. september, a month of seasonal shift towards the dark, even here just shy of the equator. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I'm really feeling the truth about how the older we get, the less black and white we know, the more grey we are invited to cradle in our cupped hands. and somehow when I can let the edges of joy and grief, wonder and despair, clarity and confusion, beauty and devastation be here all at once, they each become a little less hard to hold. ⁣
⁣
what are the greys have you been holding in your hands this past month?

AUGUST. what a month of remembering, retreating and reconnecting ♥️

THREE YEARS ON. I've had to let go of so much more than I bargained for this last year, and begun to be filled in the most unlikely of ways. I also really get the grief croissant analogy by more than ever ❤️⁣
⁣
things I've been learning in the wilderness of this grief:⁣
⁣
* being at this point in time when thawed isn't necessarily easier than at the one year mark when frozen⁣
* all that we don't feel in a time of overwhelm - exhaustion, fear, sadness - will come up to be felt at some later point in time ⁣
* people we have loved continue to be alive through our living⁣
* everything changes, even what feels foundational - people, places, priorities - and somehow there'll still be a way⁣
* more than ever, nature holds, beauty soothes, kindness rekindles hope⁣
* love is a verb, keep close the ones who show you that your connection matters to them (you know who you are and I'm so grateful for you x)⁣

THE BODY REMEMBERS. I wish I had a more poetic and graceful caregiver story to offer, but I don't. I was physically there caregiving, but on the inside, a part of me up until the last few weeks was looking away, hoping someone would wake me and tell me it was all a really, really bad dream. ⁣
⁣
our earliest relational patterns re-emerge at times of overwhelm, in spite of ourselves, as did mine. I avoided, not because I didn't care, but because I did - a lot - more than my heart could handle at the time. ⁣
⁣
and here we are, right around the time three years ago that a dear friend firmly, kindly and honestly said: "I hope that you're able to find it in yourself to stay with what is here, while they are still here" (or something like that, my life is a blur from that time). ⁣
⁣
somehow, something in me has decided that maybe now I can meet this tidalwave that threatened to drown me then. it is still big and scary, and I feel a little more ready now. ⁣
⁣
I share this to say that the body remembers, and it releases when it knows it can be met. by the version of ourselves here today, with the network of support we have. and that maybe it's okay we don't ever really know when we are "healed" around something even many years later. because what if we are not puzzles to be solved but vast oceans whose infinite depths long to be illuminated by the light of our own clear seeing? ♥️

CHANGING FACES OF HOME. july's been a funny sort of month! but by now I almost hold my breath each time july rolls around and wonder what will happen, because the body can be a strict timekeeper, especially for whatever we are still digesting.

amidst all the hard bits, reconnection with friends, music and nature that has made up this month, I've been reflecting on 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸, the familiar and the unfamiliar, and if maybe, just maybe I can allow change to be here ❤️
