Your Soft Heart by Nikita Gill to lead us into a mindfulness session, and later we moved into the writing using a poem The Kindness of Memory poem by Mlou - this can be found at this link called AllPoetry where you can also submit poetry to be displayed.
Thanks Margaret for your Audaciart recommendation; I love this and hope to see some of you submitting.
Heartwarming feedback again (see below) - thank you all so much, but the greatest gift was some outstanding writing from the group - watch the blog to see it coming in. I'm also delighted to see the lovely books everyone has sourced for these precious scribblings... here's Lou's in among it.
Offering from Sandra Birnie
Returning to that time that space where you lay in my arms and gazed open-mouthed and your fingers flexed at the knuckles, grabbing for air.
And a gurgle, a sound of want or need or contentment.
And a gaze. Those eyes. Just gazing. Allowing me in to see who you might be, who you might become, what you think, how you feel.
And the locked noticing of each other. Allowing you in to see my love for you. To show you what love is. What kindness is. What astonishment is when I look at you in my arms.
This new connection. This new magic. This new reaching out to need and learn and give and take and hope and travel and see and be seen.
See and be seen.
There it is.
Thanks to you all
