Words and the world passing by; how it sings to me; how I clamour back.
Trees!
Doing a bit of last minute research before my appearance on Radio 4’s Beyond Belief, being recorded on Wednesday.
Crystal Phoenix Art
Sometimes I just like to share my favourite things with you all. Here is my favourite Etsy shop, Crystal Phoenix Art. I’ve known the owner and craftsperson for many years and she is lovely and incredibly talented. Everything in her shop has 30% off right now so please go take a look and treat yourself. I have a number of pieces and they are all stunning.
The Rain Roars
The rain roars down
A lions last attempt
To eviscerate
The zebra of sun
From the jungle of cracks
In the pavement
A whip crack of water
Slashing holes
In lawns, borders
Ants dive for cover
In the jungle of cracks
In the pavement
Not realising
They seal their own doom
Hear the rumble
The crackle
The inevitability
Not thunder
Or lightning
Just rain, rain, rain,
Flooding in and filling
Every space
Pouring between bins
Banging on the flu pipe
Rattling in the vents
And sealing the jungle
Of cracks
In the pavement.
You Can.
Self doubt can be a crippling thing and believe me when I say I understand that not everything is achievable, whether that’s due to energy levels, mental health, or other obstacles.
But don’t ever let anyone tell you what your story has to be. You are the one who decides what you can do, or at least in partnership with those who are truly on your team.
I’ve just signed a book contract for a project about living a greener, more sustainable life as a Pagan. I’m so excited about this, as it feels like a great way to contribute towards our community.
I’ve also started working completely freelance, as some of you know. The first two months have been, well, challenging financially, but I’ve stuck at it and now have regular work writing about health and nutrition.
I have a lot of great support and I don’t pretend I could do any of those things without it. Thank you, and I hope that whatever your dreams are, that you have a way to move closer to them becoming a reality!💕
