Going more slowly. That's not a bad thing. Actually, I feel it's essential. Going faster and faster and faster achieves what exactly? I think it means we miss out on so much. The meaningful warmth of connection for one. The beauty all around us for another.

Littlest and I excitedly ran to the door with our box of sweeties. (Guisers never come to our house). Alas, it was the post lady, who obliged by holding our parcels to ransom till we gave her a sweetie!

The more polarised and performative the 'debates' about deeply important issues become, the less space there is for genuine curiosity, openness, and mutual understanding. Where's the space for not knowing, grappling with the differences, and learning? Such space is essential.

Small beautiful things I found on the beach when I went there to help my poorly brain yesterday. I’ve collected and arranged precious beach finds like this since I was really small. The process quietens & calms my noisy negative anxious thoughts.
