Breathing with the trees this afternoon. When everything feels heightened and urgent, the place of stillness and ease is where I find the clarity, wisdom & pragmatism needed to crack on. The world tries to rush our feet from under us but we don't have to be swept along.

I realised I'd not yet posted! Slowly building a little corner for myself here, you're so welcome to join me. When I'm not here I'm staring at the sea and when I'm not staring at the sea I'm not doing all the other things I should be. #DClinPsy #Devon
