And then
you leave like I knew you would. And my heart aches, as she cries out, yearning for you, while I slowly turn and walk away. Another great weekend done. Another long week to come. A week of messaging, and missing you, and wishing-you-were-heres, knowing fullwell that here is completely irrelevant. It is in fact all…

She is my favourite
thing. Although she is neither mine, nor a thing. I have loved her in bouts and spurts, with crashed bicycles and stolen fruit, for her entire life, and most of mine. We have been apart, not realising the emptiness inside and between us. We have been together, luxuriating in each others’ company, and we have…

There’s a lock
there’s a key. Ain’t no-one who’s got a hold on me. Tattoos. Visible reflections of a life lived. Sometimes in earnest, and other times in sadness… O blue bird of happiness. Other times in defiance. Daggers cut deeper than any human betrayal could. Occasionally for the betterment of self and soul: om mani padme hum.…

Every life
needs a pretzel, a bretzel, or perhaps even, a lobster. That special being, someone, thing, event, experience, both to look forward to, and back on. Those things that anchor us in our humanity.

There’s a sweetspot
just before you fall asleep. Your breathing regulates and becomes almost melodic… Slow and deep. I sit quietly listening, enjoying this intimate moment devoid of frills and pretense. The comfort of strangers, at once becoming a very real place. ~Lu

Often
it’s in the being, not the doing. It really is in the journey, the feeling, the heart connection. What if there really was no destination… And instead simply the here and now. This moment. This grace. This experience. ~Lu

I smiled
this morning when you saw me and wagged your tail, ok, it was only a tiny bit, yet it was a flag of hope, you’d turned a corner. I was amused when you sniffed at your breakfast, and then, ever so politely declined. I laughed when you let me know that you’d be ok with …

You came to brunch
with some people who I really love. And I wondered about the story of the emperor who had no clothes. And how everyone in the kingdom, bar one, had been convinced of the beauty of the non-existant clothes. What if I was the one sewing those non-existent treads, or worse, what if I’d simply been…
