Spinning whilst telling stories has been happening for millennia. Each word, nestled in the spun fibre, worn on the body, after, like an amulet.

We know that song, story & craft have the power to awaken ancient memory, and be a balm for our human challenges.

On the first of March in Bulgaria and other surrounding countries, Grandmother March is honoured. People wear white and red amulets made of cotton or spun wool for health.
And so on this day, which signifies the start of Spring in many Slavic Countries, I wish you much health, happiness & hope.

A written down story is akin to a photograph. It is one moment in that story’s lifetime, in the way that a photo is one moment in the person’s life. It is not the whole life. Stories belong on lips, told from hearts. Writing them down has preserved many of them, telling them makes them come alive.

Heron flies silent
Through frozen air, free and wild
I sit, mouth agape

The child-like wonder that snow brings out. There is such beauty in this world.
