I'm writing about how a home, ultimately, isn't a place, nor even necessarily a person or people. And loving all these both/ands in which we live!<br /><br />Oh - I'd forgotten that Debussy - one my mum liked, I think.<br /><br />I'll be in touch soon.

I like ...So poignantly upbeat, Roselle, by the end. I like that return north to Brittany, the lifting 'brouillard' (also title of a Prelude for piano by Debussy – don't ask me to play it!); the pools of gold, the cottage that might be home, the rain that reminds you of Dartmoor (also home?)<br /><br />It's how life is, isn't it? That eternal coexistence of opposites, how one inherently implies the other, how seeing them like this helps us keep our balance during unbalanced times. It's served me well over the years, too.<br />And very interested to hear of 'Forest Retreat in Brittany' next year.<br />(Shall email next week about latest possible dates for next Mentoring.)<br />With thanks, Miriam xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
