blue blanket
A memoir
blue blanket is the story of my Dad and I coming together unexpectedly in Hong Kong in June 2019, and my Mum's final gift to us.
What we experienced, what we shared, everything. It is our story of a precious moment in time, a momentous time.
The COVID Musings 3
Volume 3: 2022
The final volume in The COVID Musings trilogy is a collection of poetry and essays, musings and transcriptions and conversations on all that has been within and around us in our third year of living in the era of COVID. This is not a book of solutions, it holds no answers but poses many questions. As precautions and fears about COVID began to wane during the year it was clear that nothing was to return to as it was before. Yet much remained unchanged, the same epistemologies, the same metaphors held firm.
The COVID Musings 2
Volume 2: 2021
Confusingly similar and yet decidedly different. The tone shifting in ways both unexpected and not. Polarities became a little firmer, a lot firmer in places, less so in others where beauty stubbornly remained. Hidden processes, hidden assumptions about how we are together apart in life on Earth became more visible than perhaps they were even in COVID year 1. My musings into the 2nd volume continued on from Volume 1: 2020 amidst the waves of 2021; swelling, cresting, freshening.
The COVID Musings 1
Volume 1: 2020
2020 was a year like no other, a new beginning, an ending. So much suffering, and yet the beauty of humanity shone brightly in unexpected places. What was important, who was doing the important work, what we value, who we are... so many questions. As the cracks appeared and the light of another way started to shine through, even as COVID spread across the world in early 2020, a time of reflection began. For me the forests of the Jura were calling. A space to be, rather than do.
