The kitchen has felt very homely to me. The military operation developed into a labour of love.
It is really nice to feel part the group - but to have time alone. I know that 11 people will arrive hungry and expecting every mealtime. Watching their faces makes me happy – they enjoy the food and are comforted. The kitchen is becoming a hearth – and they are not disappointed – nor am I.
A slow walk
This place is very peaceful and I want to touch everything. The moss looks greener and the chestnut husks feel sharper. I think that I am looking at things with fresh eyes – readying myself for the experience with the participants. I walk along the road and find a lovely twisted tree and pick brambles. The landscape makes me feel revived.
It is really lovely to be here with the workshop organisers. They help to ground me and provide a feeling of calm. I thought that I would have more time to prepare food before the participants arrive. But, it has been really nice to take time to enjoy the place where we’ll be staying for one week.
An invitation
to lie down in the moss
to eat brambles
to touch, but not take
if I let it
and listen
and don’t feel ashamed
roar of wind far away
whisper of wind in my hair
tick crawls up my leg – MUSH.
