There's a wonder in your words, Siodhna, a moving toward Midsummer that I can feel. Thank you for the wildflowers and the breeze.

Beautiful, feels like a gentle call to keep listening- to the music - a soft return to the knowingness we’ve been home all along.

That soft calling, Allegra. More and more hearing it now…. the hope rising from that alone.

Fun. It’s been really lovely, especially the local readings. I’d fly to Ireland to sign the book if I could.

Awh that's lovely, I'd be there! I can imagine the richness of those readings, reciprocal inspiration. Talk again on all of that.

Alliums passionate drumsticks roll out the summer solstice with a carpet that covers and protects the heir looms of roses that continue to bloom to return the soft summer petals fragrance.

I love your description of my writing Edgar. I was taking a small break from writing so this is lovely to hear.

I like the image of the model plans...also being a metaphor for us...tumbling through the air - free.

Thanks Rajani, that's lovely to hear. I almost forgot it was a metaphor, I think I am inspired to write in the main by images I see. Or sense.

I love Florence, her rage put to music—the best! The video just adds to the delight of “Free”.

Also the idea of a return, an inflection point, resonates with me too. Beautiful writing.

Hi Julie. What a beautiful comment to read! Sirens, that's interesting. Wolf Alice have a track about that maybe...

A return could mean the strengthening of things that remain. Enya's song touched a chord from the time when I first heard it. Seems more poignant now, somehow.

Ah, I love this. Especially,

"folding backwards,

inwards, to ethereal embrace—

a return

from tongue-tied words—

soft, so soft"

Beautifully articulates the energy/sense of clarity, divine timing, trusting, I think. So good, Siodhna.
