Isn’t it amazing that, in every culture of the world, we have developed a language of blessing and honouring others? Somehow, we know that speaking these things out, writing them down, affirming one another really matters.
To hold my ground inside in a world that seems to be accelerating in darkness and to rebel against ideas of ‘othering’ and fear, I started thinking of people I love and what words of blessing I would like to send them, and then I thought of all those people I don’t know who are equally trying to hold onto light, to love their people, to keep them safe.
As ever, take what you need, hope something helps.
Love, Gill xo
