I am a student of life, in all its seasons.
A disciple of the way that it demands our surrender
and the unravelling of everything we once thought we were,
So that we are forced to learn ourselves anew.
Through the years I’ve explored many different paths,
informed by Yoga, Chinese Medicine, Astrology, Psychology.
But I’ve learnt most by walking alongside others,
Reflecting on the shared humanity of our pain and longing.
Undoubtedly my greatest teacher has been Motherhood.
The way it brings humility and constant, unrelenting growth.
The way that it calls upon my most hidden selves -
Light and Dark.
So that I may embrace all of what it means to love
Myself, alongside my children
