May you all be loved and love well; "I would recognise you in total darkness, were you mute and I deaf. I would recognise you in another lifetime entirely, in different bodies, different times. And I would love you in all of this, until the very last star in the sky burnt out into oblivion." ― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Good morning, “just go to the shed”… pondering an alternative approach to psychological avoidance from Oliver Burkeman, The Imperfectionist;

The Imperfectionist: Just go to the shed

Just go to the shed It's always a little disorienting to realise how much of life is dictated by psychological avoidance – by the effort to avoid...

The Side Eye: The trans tipping point

In times of difficulty, people have always found less powerful groups on whom to blame all of society's problems.

Finished my working week and catching up with #Succession I love that Sarah Snook’s character is colloquially referred to as a word also used for “a knife or razor used as a weapon”

Good morning, of to work… day 7. Sharing one of my favoured pieces. Everything is Waiting for You by David Whyte. Your great mistake is to act the drama as if you were alone. As if life were a progressive and cunning crime with no witness to the tiny hidden transgressions. To feel abandoned is to deny the intimacy of your surroundings. Surely, even you, at times, have felt the grand array; the swelling presence, and the chorus, crowding out your solo voice. You must note the way the soap dish enables you, or the window latch grants you freedom. Alertness is the hidden discipline of familiarity. The stairs are your mentor of things to come, the doors have always been there to frighten you and invite you, and the tiny speaker in the phone is your dream-ladder to divinity. Put down the weight of your aloneness and ease into the conversation. The kettle is singing even as it pours you a drink, the cooking pots have left their arrogant aloofness and seen the good in you at last. All the birds and creatures of the world are unutterably themselves. Everything is waiting for you.

Came across this, this morning... sharing for anyone who may needs it. .... - Derek Walcott, Love After Love The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.
