“On the lip of an abyss roaring with dark wind stood a tiny bush that bore an intensely red flower. The bush grew right on the very edge of nothingness, and yet somehow its roots were holding. It had a grip that no wind could disturb; it thrived there, all on its own, this modest little plant, and while the abyss yawned beside it, it went on bravely, doggedly flowering.”
Helen Garner “Notes from a Brief Friendship” 2011 p46 “Everywhere I Look” 2016
Full Moon
this Prayer is breathing
the brave red flower is rooted in the seed nestled in the branch that has let go to be a raft riding the winds of change
A beautiful weaving together of Hope.
a handle on reality, the sun comes up, the moon waxes and wane, the tides come and go, the seasons turn, gardening & stitching are a way to mend the tears
Another special amulet, Mo ….

The light of the full moon and your beautiful work and Helen Garner’s words are so healing to see in these dark times.
