I wrote this when I was feeling the weight of everything that's wrong in the world. How do we hold awareness of all the suffering without letting it drown us? I realised maybe the answer is focusing on love, not on our happiness. They are definitely not the same thing.

Happy International Stammering Awareness Day. This is my contribution this year. There are many things misconceptions about stammering out there still, the notion that it can be overcome is a big one and it's very damaging. Just don't say it.

Morning sunrise walk.
Light creeps from the horizon,
radiant hedgerow.

I'm chuffed to bits to have two of my poems featured in the online series of @shinepoetry.bsky.social. Link is in comments. Thanks Samantha!
In my other life I do crochet design and make the โ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ for sale. They're really easy to send as gifts as they come in a biodegradable bag that fits snugly into a card... ๐Ÿฉต
It's that time of year where I stock up my Etsy Shop and try to get people to plan for Christmas waaay before they really want to... but snowflakes are really not just for Christmas, are they? All these are available now.

At last. After months
of flowers hugging the light
it's our turn to shine.

Autumn frames itself
better than anyone else.
Look deeply, it speaks.

It's #bandcampfriday today and here's a wee reminder that you can still listen to and buy both physical and digital copies of my EP 'Getting Real' that came out almost 3 years ago. Link is in the linktree in my profile. Come on, make it real!

My take on the superpower thing from 3 1/2 years ago. I stammered since I was a child and worked to live with it well for the last 3 decades. If you love it it becomes a source of strength, and both it and you transform. โ€จ๐Ÿฆโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™€๏ธโ€จ#superpower #stammering #stuttering #disabilityawareness #poetrycommunity

Wee practice the other weekend and the first part of 'Baby Can I Hold You' by the one and only Tracy Chapman. Have played it forever and never tire of it! My voice is getting almost back to normal - or it was, before I got this bad cold!

Morning coffee tastes better from a handmade coffee cup. This one is made by Sharon who attends The Columcille, a day service in Edinburgh for adults with support needs. I'm lucky to teach movement there and bagged this treasure yesterday at the autumn fair. #handmade #pottery #morningcoffee
OCEAN HEART (2006)

My heart is an ocean
with differing depths
canyons, reefs and magnificent structures.
Mountains stretching towards the light
and bottomless pits
all teeming with life.
.....

New (old) poem on my website... read more on:

A Swedish study of 2.4m births published in 2024 which used actual sibling data found no relationship between exposure to paracetamol (ex Tylenol) in utero and subsequent autism, ADHD or intellectual disability.

First 20 seconds of a new song I've been working on: "The Games You Play". It's been half finished since the spring and decided this month it was actually finished. Sometimes you just need to sleep on things a very long time!

More Andy Goldsworthy impressions. It's definitely worth a second or even more visits. The pieces evoke different impressions and associations every time. @nationalgalleriesscot

I had a cat called Momo too, she's hopefully still making others happy with her sweetness. ๐Ÿ’”โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

When a musician plays music they must experience it in their whole body. The dance, too, must be experienced by the dancer in a different way than those watching. I wonder if that is true of all artists?
Had a short moment enjoying my new hobby today.... found these treasures in Edinburgh charity shops at a bargain. Some of my favourite classical pieces and building up a classic folk collection that started with Nick Drake. ๐Ÿ˜
