Tonight I want to say a big thank you to the friends in my life (who know who they are, and only some of whom are named hereunder) who share their reading with me – and sometimes, wonderfully, their thoughts about their reading. I often contemplate what Mary Oliver called my / their / our
place in the family of things
– and I think it a marvellous reality that family and friends are often connected and inspired by the same authors, who are themselves connected souls ‘in the family of things’ – close friends the late John O’Donohue and poet David Whyte were like brothers, for example.
We do great service when we bring to each other’s attention the wisdom of human encounter. Thank you LF for today’s ‘constellating’ from David W; thank you LW for pure gift from John O’D; and thank you DK for valued intro (link) to Rachel Cusk –
We currently have a poor appetite for living, a result of being force-fed with experiences that have not agreed with us
🙏

Thank you Simon. I so agree with you. With so much darkness trolling around the internet, I find these connections and you to be an oasis of peace and what’s good about this World.

Ahhh, thanks Simon. I find my solace in the words of gifted writings is but compounded when those words are savored with others who appreciate them, as I appreciate you. 💕 xx
