Great to hear from you again - your newsletters are always worth reading and are up there amongst my favourites. I always look forward to reading what you write, and it’s invariably full of food for thought. Thanks for being here!
I had noticed your absence and wondered if my algorithm had gone wild. Sending love and light to you for whatever loss you are learning to carry. I hope I can empathise as I have also had more to deal with than that which we have previously talked about. I also know well what you mean when you wonder if you have anything to say, but you do. For the moment what I have to express is happening through music, but tonight, sitting in a hotel room before a cremation that shouldn’t be happening, camels playing musical chairs is exactly what I need. Shalom x
Thank you Mark, so sorry to hear you are being asked to carry yet more sadness. I shall simply reflect your own love and light back at you. You will always have a friendly ear to talk here if you need a mate. Your music is always beautiful- a language of the soul. X
I officiated last week at the burial of a dear friend whose sudden demise thwarted her hopes that her cancer would allow time to use up the rest of her art supplies. It was a surprisingly warm November day, and so I wore not black but my brightest summer dress, and that felt just right. The images of camels on a trampoline and playing musical chairs and of dancers in their finery would have delighted and inspired her … as they did me. Thank you for letting us join the dancers for a little while.
She certainly has. After far greater losses than I’ve ever experienced, including the deaths of both her children, she carried nonstop with storytelling and making art and music with joy and optimism.
Well, you've definitely achieved your goal by cheering me up, and that's more vital than ever right now as we have been experiencing, on a personal and glib level, so much loss and disillusionment, so thank you 😊!
Great to have you back writing. So sorry for your losses & thank you for sharing the camels. Very thought provoking article. Thanks again.
Thanks for the encouragement!

I’m sorry for your loss Sue. It sounds like your friend left you her sense of joy in life as a legacy?
She certainly has. After far greater losses than I’ve ever experienced, including the deaths of both her children, she carried nonstop with storytelling and making art and music with joy and optimism.
😯An example to us all.
