Notes on starting a universe

When the unvierse begins to expand, it won’t be spreading out to fill a larger emptiness. The only space that exists is the space it creates as it goes.

Mother’s Day Salute

Was thinking today …. I wouldn’t be a mother without my lovely daughters but I also wouldn’t be the mother I am today without all of you who have helped me, and continue to help me, along the way.

You are legion, you take many forms, and I salute you.

What I live for

Today I’m taking part in ‘What I Live For’, an online event organised by author Satya Robyn. People all over the world will be sharing what gives their lives meaning. In Satya Robyn’s novel ‘Thaw’, Ruth gives herself three months to decide whether she can find a reason to carry on living. There’s 75% off the kindle version today (99p / $1.49) - read more here. And i

f you want to join in by posting your own reason(s), the facebook page is here.

*****

What I think I live for most is freedom:


Freedom in whatever form it takes.


Running

Walking

Standing on my head


Freedom in my mind


Freedom on the page


The freedoms of

sight

smell

sound

touch

taste


The freedoms of

air

earth

fire

light

and

water


The freedom of not knowing where I am going


and that being all right


And not only that being all right but in fact


that being pretty wonderful

 

 

 

 

Thank you Satya for not only thinking up these projects but putting them into action in the world!

Preferably small, walled, and in France, but will consider others.

Not desperate yet but getting there.
