So much of the work relies on bringing together our different capabilities and ways of knowing. That requires collaboration between us. Which means paying attention to valuing and nurturing our relationships. And it doesn't just happen. All this takes space & care for connection.

I think sometimes you have a moment when you realise how much an event in your life has changed you.

I'm reminded about the importance of belonging.
And maybe there’s belonging in a place or community- being free to be your true self, rather than having to 'fit in'.
Maybe also there’s belonging *within yourself*- being open to all aspects of yourself rather than silencing ‘unacceptable’ parts...

It was lovely to have several Kingfishers zipping backwards and forwards past me on the River Ely today. I was finally able to get on one as it went by - a little distant but great to catch one in flight #birdingWales #ukbirding #birds

When someone's in distress, don't go straight to something 'positive' or trying to make it better.
Hear where someone's at, take the time, 'be with'. Be willing to stay with the real discomfort- what a difference this makes, rather than reaching for the temporary relief of a superficial solution.
