At this moment, I’m in need of your balmy words. Keep them coming. I have found little ways of facing off the chaos this far and have managed to stand up to the onslaught but have been feeling helpless in the face of the political chicanery of the past few weeks. Managing how I feel about that has been hard because I feel helpless right now and that doesn’t sit well with me. One ray of hope though is that finally, people around me are waking up to the fact that nothing that has been done by these predators has been for ‘the greater good’ after all.

Often as I’m writing these things, they are born of how I myself am feeling.

I’ve been feeling overwhelmed these last few days. Stuff with my son, then yeah…naturally the world, too.

I try and ‘parent’ my own inner child, bring her ease by reshaping the stories others tell her.

I think we have to because the stories are coming thick and fast these days, for most of us.

Sending you love and strength x

Thank you. For what it’s worth, my nephew’s son is now 20. Life for them has been and enormous struggle but they got him into a lovely school where he thrived and built on his strengths and on Wednesday he moved into a house with a level of independence that works for him.

Thats wonderful to hear. We have the cards we have been dealt. The castles we construct with them can both rise and tumble and are subject to both our own skill and external forces.

The wise man sees the pursuit for what it is, a game.
