You
gave me wings. Work wings, at first. You with your stories and parables and near-blind belief in the extraordinary capabilities of ordinary people. You gave me life wings, next. As your genuine care and kindness made me realise that I was worth much more than I had been selling myself short for. You gave me…

It’s just a dog
So there’s no shame in dropping it into an acquaintance’s yard. All pre-arranged, neat, of course. It’s just a dog now left to the mercy of strangers as you carry on with your important life, relocating with a non-pedigree dog is so inconvenient, and expensive, really. He’s not just a dog, that first day in…

Love, a shopping list
Eyes kind. Heart pure. Seeking, to unlock, to nurture, to flourish. I am all these things, for me and for we, are one. Kindness, generosity, also of spirit, wisdom, seeing opportunity, loving much, giving freely, feeling, experiences, grounding, and yet always to love and nurture. ~Lu

Homage to M, wherever you may find yourself in the world
You know who you are and you know what you did. How was that going to play out in real life? Or was that actually, exactly what it was? Play. A fun toy to be discarded, after a single use. You know who you were and you know what you did. Flat-packed roses. The most…

I run
Despite hating it. The daily dread always there. I run, to get away from the things in my head. And then, I catch up with them eventually, instead. I run, to help make sense of the world, the death, the destruction, the demons, the war. I run, to free my soul, in that moment life…
