Ox Stones, Burbage Moor, yesterday: a quiet, beautiful moment of space, in good company, as the clouds parted to make way for the sun’s brief yet warm greeting..

And, just before: Conference of the Trees, Lady Canning’s Plantation; mystery plays in Green.

Today, I sat and read this book from beginning to end. So much of it resonated; the last paragraph brought me to tears. ‘Language is a building site. It is always in the process of being constructed and repaired. It can fall apart and be made again.’

@L_Thomsen_Brits @k_macari What a beautiful serendipity... The ripples of resonance from this book go so wide and deep, I feel.

Savouring the moment before opening this incredibly special book for the second time; it actually changed my life the last time I read it, a few years ago; curious what returning to it now will bring. With huge thanks to my dear friend @k_macari for gifting it to me.

Yesterday, my mum took my daughter into her arms for the first time in over a year. Afterwards, I took my mum into my arms for the first time in over a year. These moments will never ever be forgotten, now. So cherished, so tender, so very felt. Family.

Piano day. Lovely conversations with fellow pianists- inspirational- and dear friends, earlier; my ‘piano’ track is this one. I learnt my jazz through playing along to this, aged 17. In celebration of this. And @jazzteabeer .. thank you x open.spotify.com/track/5Y6FKf0A…

@BlackUmfolo Thank you for asking Vuyani. It is a current and ongoing conversation, Walt has not yet published his first (truly incredible) responses so I am not sharing here; but I will when he does. Such a creative honour.

1) Pursuance. This is the title of a very special collaboration with my dear friend, artist and percussionist Walt Shaw, and his artistic response to my poems. I feel quite raw about sharing this here; it is a very nurturing project; but it is giving me much creative nourishment.
