Out of spoons for so long, but dear friends, I am alive. Many of you have msged with such care. Ashamed I've been too overwhelmed to know how to begin to reply.
I read every word. The love & unforgetting of each is tucked in my ribs, making me realer even when I can't feel it

So tonight's post, in floods of tears, is special effort. This is for the kindest person in Aotearoa 😭 Dear #SecretSantaNZ2022, Cate & I are hugging each other & openly weeping at your generosity, your spirit, your story, your poem, your aroha, your mana, your immense heart 2/?
We opened the huge box together and gasped, then immediately cried & haven't stopped. The thought in every. Single. Package. Dozens 😭 ALL filled with light. I don't know how to post to do it all justice, I can't. You DID make her smile, you lifted us both beyond measure. 3/?
Out flowed gourmet popcorn, brownie balls, spiced choc balls, chili nuts. A whole fairy tree (the message oh). A magic box of hot sauce (her face). Stickers, cards, bookmarks, a gorg ie in exactly her colours, a plant cat, magnets, badges, the most beautiful notebook 4/?
@SeaGoatScreamsPoetry What a kind and lovely Secret Santa friend! No two people deserve such sweet gifts more. Sad to hear you’re feeling so unwell, dear Ankh. I understand the sluggish way of the world when one is out of spoons. Sending you light and love and the rejuvenating energies of Summer Solstice. Endless blessings to you and Cate Spice. πŸ§‘πŸŒ€πŸ”†
