A blessing upon your grieving heart: life without grief is life without love. Our tears honour those we have lost and our memories of them are more precious than jewels.
Condolences on the loss of your aunt. Sending you gentle care in your time of grief. Otherwise, I love everything in this post. It’s been a long time since I wrote poetry: I couldn’t see the telos in it. But your dance with unknowing calls to something in me. Love the poem about dancing.
"The inferior bronze weaponry of the heart" fight on in this low,winding and "fugitive" channel of yours. In such a flashing up of rembrance, She remains, unbowed. Nice.
Thalweg, so strangely familiar but still I had to look it up, again. Alongside accepting the forgetting that comes with ageing comes the joy of rediscovery!
Your mixing, blending, grinding, refining and catalysing of words flows naturally
Watching the Adam Curtis documentaries for the first time, thanks! We are thinking more and more like machines everyday. A perfect example of the left brain’s reductionism in Gilchrist’s The Master and his Emissary.

Caroline, I’m sorry to hear of your loss and deeply appreciate that you honoured your beloved aunt’s memory with us here this morning. Sad times.
Respect and thanks for the poems in the pause.

Your mixing, blending, grinding, refining and catalysing of words flows naturally
through time
and space
My spirit flows silently and subtly
in the subterranean carriers
below your grief and offers up
from the darkness
a chalice
of soft light
I wish you peace and comfort as you grieve.
So sorry for the loss of your beloved aunt, Caroline. My heart sends you peace. ❤️

I'm so sorry for your loss! I wasn't reading emails the last few days and only just opened this one. May she rest in peace :(
