...
Perhaps it's just me
But the older I get
The more I suspect
That almost everyone feels the same
Which means there is no shame
No truth
In this feeling
Of failing
Because no one is winning
Yet everyone wins

It's more than rubbish and it's not ok. Sorry you're having such an awful day

Don't fear the slopes
Speak out your hopes
Or jot them on backs of envelopes

This is the way to live each day
Truthfully
Mindfully
Faithfully
Hopefully
Peacefully
Gratefully

Mistakes melt like snowflakes
On frozen lakes
As spring awakes

Set aside habits that will be broken
Or frozen
Leave them unspoken

I have learned over the years that the only way I can create is my way. That my artists voice is varied and changeable, because that's me, and so my style and subject matter and medium changes all the time but my voice is always my own. Prayerful, hopeful, honest and with a heart for justice.

For me it's a mix of fatigue, pain, illness, anxiety and access issues which mean I won't come along. But to be invited and to feel included and know I can say no without judgement is perfection.
