It's National Grief Awareness Week this week. I wanted to write something for it, but then I remembered a short piece I wrote back in January. I wrote it in Danish, but translated it to English. It's slightly redacted to make it less personal.

I enjoyed another busy weekend in Perthshire, selling my crochet designs at an advent fair and staying with friends. This morning I had a short walk along the #Corbenicpoetrypath and enjoyed the silence and paying attention to the details of frost, nature, shadows. #naturephotography #frostymorning

Musing fragment from the train:
How clearly do we really see
ourselves and the world?
Perception is clouded by reflections
hiding reality.
Some we pick up from others
some we create
they all our truth
infiltrate.

It's full of heart shaped leaves underneath it, trying to work out what the long ones are!

Met a beautiful tree on a walk in a well hidden arboretum on Sunday. We didn't look it up but thought maybe it's a lime.

I'm having fun playing around with videos and poetry at the moment. October is the best time to get some gorgeous nature footage, so here's my poem 'October' with a short walk in my local park.

I wrote this poem, 'Finally', over three years ago as an acknowledgement of my own journey. I think it is finally time to share it. It still resonates and is a constant reminder to never give up following your dreams. Let me know if it resonates with you too! 🙏

I wrote this poem over three years ago.
It's about the very real phenomenon
of lost cables.
It really did happen.
It's meant to be funny.
Maybe I think it's funnier
than it really is. 🤔🙄

It was so lovely playing at the Halloween event hosted by Transition Edinburgh South yesterday. The weather was a bit on-off rain, but it wasn't super cold and it was great to see the people I usually hang out with in the garden.

I wrote a part two to my "I AM AN IMMIGRANT" poem from a couple of years ago. A bit more of a 👊 this time, but sometimes that is needed.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
