Thankyou

As we look past the storm damage and the winter garden, bereft of it’s colours and usually dug up by four giant paws … We could be sad and ponder all that was lost, and is gone: lament the landscape of change. Or we could take a moment to celebrate all that has been andContinue reading “Thankyou”

Storm

This is bonnie. When something isn’t right she stands very still and shuts her eyes . When she is scared she freezes. Until the storm passes. Often this becomes our default. Things get pushed aside to deal with later, lists are made and lost, promises made and broken. Mañana Mañana.. A happy medium between awarenessContinue reading “Storm”

Her

There was a girl who looked like me She followed me close by. If someone hurt or saddened us She hid away to cry She weighed as heavy as a rock But couldn’t quite be seen She sometimes almost went away But reappeared in dreams She often spoke in voices Quite like those I knewContinue reading “Her”

Chance

Not only as the self you were: Bit all the missing parts,Continue reading “Road trip”

Getting rid of the old.

Emerging like dusty blinking cave people… I don’t know about you but I am in a strange place with my stuff. Haven’t we had to get far more bored with our things recently!?! In our case, the house has been chewed and nibbled to extremes and needs a tv makeover, thanks to the wonder whoContinue reading “Getting rid of the old.”

What dogs teach us

Some people believe, that every person or animal that crosses our path does so for a reason. Sometimes it is very brief moment, a look, an interaction, an understanding, or sometimes we stay longer with one another. Although we can probably agree that the pull of animal company of some kind is often felt, everyoneContinue reading “What dogs teach us”
