Thankful to Kit
For making it feel possible
That I could compose
My own music

The loveliness of meeting

It has been so restorative to be back in the UK
It has awakened parts of me I thought were long gone
My writing voice is back and
I want to write again
After years of feeling like that part of me had vanished
I feel a lightness of spirit
Like things are possible
(Despite the state of the world)
I want to read all the books!
And watch all the movies (specifically musical ones)!
I want to learn all the things!
I want to sing and dance and trip the light fantastic!
And after nearly a decade of exhausting trauma
Courtesy of The Big C followed by the other big C
Well, I didn’t know that lightness was entirely possible
And I am thankful thankful thankful to be here
Tonight I can hear the sea outside my window
I want to huff that sea air so it fills my lungs so deep I can take it with me back to New York
And I breathe
And whisper thank you to the wind
That I am here
I am here
I am here.

A Day in Manhattan
Lunch with Miriam at a delightful diner near Lincoln Center
Research at the library and finding treasure in an unassuming box
An unexpected dinner with Megan and Lauren
A beautiful sunset on my way home
Streaming a gorgeous one woman musical
Feeling full in my heart
And uplifted in my spirit

Into the archives
Digging through the archives
Holding bits of paper that were new
Over 7 decades ago
But are now delicate and liable to rip if held incorrectly
The typed and hand-written
Words upon the paper
Hold extraordinary stories
Piecing it all together
And discovering
The treasures within

The New York Public Library
It is cold and
Pouring rain outside but I am
In the warm bubble of the
Library
And for an hour or two
The outside world
Exists only on paper.

Time Enough
Today I had time to write
And dig into the archives
And to go down unexpected paths
And I even had time for a little admin
And taking the floof to the park (it was cold!)
And I took some time to read a book for fun
(The Telling Room, it’s about cheese
And northern Spain
It’s delicious)
And I went to bed feeling
Content.
