Frances Bell#warmstory I have had a rocky couple of weeks, emotionally draining, sad, happy, lovely book launch, tricky journey, compliments, challenges but with 2 significant outcomes. A decision by me on my biggest current problem; and a great reunion with a former student who has gone on to great things and is a lovely warm human being. I was sharing some of my woes with a friend who sent this poem (that I have been sent by others on previous occasions). /1
The poem is Beannacht / Blessing by John O’Donohue https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/beannacht-blessing/ I am going to hope that “a slow
wind work these words
of love around you,
an invisible cloak
to mind your life.” I know that I have to hand over responsibility for solving my problem to others once I have done the gruelling writing to help this happen. I offer any of you who need it this lovely poem. #passiton #systemiccruelty #hope #persistence #feminism /
