Beautiful piece, Jody. Despite only being a "baby" crone, you capture so eloquently the nuances of your experiences. It's like you are writing about thoughts and affect that I didn't even know I had, until I read your piece and then think - but that is what I am going through. Wishing you all the very best on your giving yourself the time and space to be there for what emerges for you, after being there so fully for everyone else.
Thank you so much Naomi, I really appreciate your support. Sometimes I feel like a fraud moving into this territory when I'm not yet sixty, but strangely enough I do feel that the dark night of the soul of my childlessness catapulted me into these thoughts perhaps sooner than I might have done had I been embroiled in the issues of my adult children! Thank you for your kind wishes for this next stage of my writing and thinking life and thank you for being alongside me as one of my elders xxx
Such a wonderfully written piece Jody. I love reading your words of wisdom, especially during this Twixmas time. I look forward to both reading and sharing more! x Gabriella
Yet another inspiring piece of writing Jody. I'm in awe of the courageous depths you can reach on this journey and how you can creatively speak your truth (and being an Apprentice Crone can only mean there's more to come!) xx
Thank you Heather! Going deep seems to be my natural habitat, especially when I'm feeling out of sorts and trying to get some ground under my feet again... I really appreciate your support, especially during this awkward time of year! Hugs, Jody x
