‘on december’ a funny month this one emotionally charged excitement at the ready alongside tiredness of term too many expectations and lurgies lurking on festivities aplenty the daily advent count old family traditions the twinkles all around swept up you drift along with current gripping on wishing you could somehow bypass the culmination and get straight into the last week of the month the quiet no more expectations no any resolutions yet full of time to slow to be but shshsh don’t tell a soul
‘on dwams’ immersed in abstractions time gently ongoing silence condensed mind sounding out clarity yearnings leaning in to the process acceptance of and patience with questions painfully nurtured corrective emotional happenings
‘on farewell’ tears the sadness of the moment when the now inevitably transitions to become the past is hard to process when you are seven years old thank you cornwall we shall be back
‘on lundy’ winds roared sun shone the sky and sea each blew one’s own trumpet in a majestic tandem
'mama letters: on ordinary happiness' when things break down ideally you ask for help and joy you share with others it is the inbeetween essential regular maintenance that sometimes feels a lonely void nothing others can assist with or rejoice about a tricky space requiring resilience and discipline to keep on discovering yourself because i truly do believe that happiness is in this middle ground ability to emotionally self-regulate through all the ordinary life moments
‘on getting past’ feet moved mind stalled waves crashed on by path tempted heart racing a first run in many many months sun warmed thoughts settled breath evened out feet moved path tempted future intentions become now
‘on mama letters’ breathe in my little boy sea air is what your dreams are made of #WHPmirrorimage
‘on lately’ presence vs absence a way of being towards which i strive genuine spontaneous alive #memyselfandportrait
‘on embracing’ time for a shift of evening patterns the darkness setting in time for the flickering wicks of candles hands wrapping round belly warming drinks time for the gentle feel of knits losing yourself in orange burnt red yellow brown time for the satisfying crunch of leaves kicking through endless piles of them time for the season change
‘on rené karl wilhelm johann josef maria rilke’ be patient with all that is unresolved in your heart. love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. and the point is to live everything. live the questions now. perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
‘mama letters: on turning seven’ i have been thinking lately about things i hope to teach you i keep coming back to five principles of happiness put together by ray chambers the first is being in the moment the second is that it's better to be loving than to be right the third is that you should be a spectator to your own thoughts especially when you become emotional which is fundamental to compassion the fourth is to be grateful for at least one thing every day and the fifth is to be of service to others to help others every chance you get and if i may add just one more for luck the sixth is to bring a water ballon catapult to every party you throw for your friends big and little humans adore it just alike #WHPperspective #jj_forum_2371
‘on back to studying’ a tiny little simmering deep down in the belly excitement anticipation of the new beginnings relief at still wanting to go ahead with it enormous gratitude at having the opportunity a homecoming of sorts that feels anew yet all the more familiar
‘on reminder’ you find your people sometimes where you least expect to take chances when on a human treasure hunt because when you occasionally stumble upon a genuine connection it lifts you up and nurtures inside out thank you for reminder, tassie @_chiffe_ and mabel

dreams are the kind of things you can - when you need to - borrow and lend out, i said. i really do overplay these sayings sometimes. h. murakami ‘yesterday’ #WHPdailylife for @instagram
‘on friday’ i see you rising new day is calling may be today things won’t fall apart let’s try again patience and perspective at the ready go on show me what you’ve got
‘on end of and beginning’ eyes aching with the effort to soak the seaside in to fill up the reserves the waves the froth the sand the salt the seagulls squawking overhead eyes aching with the effort to fill up the reserves to be rationed out sparingly over the routine days back on our doorstep
