I’ve found it very hard to write recently, Betsy! It feels very physical, somehow; not being able to be open with your thoughts?

I’m sorry to hear your words aren’t flowing at the moment Robert, as I always am grateful for them when they do. This experience does highlight for me how much ‘safety’ or ‘smooth running wires’ 😂 plays a part in my ability to be able to write / create / make. So I think what I’m saying is that for me, it makes perfect sense that it’s a physical barrier for you at the moment, as much as a ‘mental’ one… as we know (and I’m seeing first hand) how interlinked these cables are.

I do trust that your words will flow again… in time, when they are ready ❤️

I feel so similarly, Betsy. Cracking out of the dark! (And navigating the tech!). It reminds of this quote …

‘’How

Did the rose

Ever open its heart

And give to this world

All its

Beauty?

It felt the encouragement of light

Against its Being.

Otherwise,

We all remain

Too

Frightened’’

Hafez

Hoping all who receive your words and your thoughts and your art feel like an encouragement of light for you. Shining a little your way today x

Aaaaah... what I truly love about you Iona, is how you take an idea, then seem to somehow absorb, filter and reflect back something even more sparkling. More than a mirror... is there such a thing as a refiner? I'm not sure, but I feel your warmth and sunshine, and I am most grateful x

Aw, thanks Betsy. Thank YOU for reflecting that back to me! Happy to be a sparkler. A mirror. A refiner. And deeply grateful for all the warmth and sunshine you offer me x
