I want to keep this miniscule spot in the ether as a place of cosiness and joy, but it can be hard when the world feels so heavy. The pain of seeing children needlessly dying because of egotistical leaders, peoples lives upturned in a heartbeat, the feeling of anger and helplessness about the situation can be overwhelming.
My usual distraction of writing doesn’t seem to be working this time round. I have found myself just wanting to be out in nature, hearing the birds, just wandering through the peace of woodlands.
I have also found myself drawn to nature themed poetry, if you get a chance I recommend this beautiful poem
The Peace of the Wild Things by Wendel Berry
I found this very soothing and moving at the same time. It can be hard to know what to say but this I feel sums up my feelings at the moment. It is difficult not to despair at the world my three sons are going to inherit, it is making me feel so powerless and sad.
Anyways, I have bad toothache at the moment which is keeping me up at night, so the early hours are probably not the best time to keep reading the news!
I hope wherever you are in this world, you are safe and well.
