Happy to read you again, Siodhna, and to hear your voice and share some music. Love this latest piece and the words that follow. Happy to see the Rilke piece, it's always been a favorite of mine. I have no arms to sink into, but I know the love is there!

The arms you sink into are on every comment I've ever read on your work, Paul. You know it's there, as you say. Is sensed in the way you live your life.

That’s such a nice thing to say, Siodhna, and just as nice to read. Thank you. 😊🧡

Thanks so much LeeAnn! And I've missed your glorious readings. The sense of community you and Lisa have created is palpable in all the comments. Enjoyed the one I was at, I'll hopefully make the next one. I'm back, pen in the air.

Missed your poems and voice.

the world is waiting on us

to surrender to our only job

to sink into one another's arms

at the furthest edges of ourselves.

Yep :)

Hi Síodhna

I love the stillness in this piece; the mingled sense of acceptance and offering which lies at the heart of life, and of love....

Best Wishes to you - Dave
