The fabric of a time like this the stuff of unimaginably intricate embroidery. One stitch dropped here, one pulled there may just be the difference between a masterpiece and a disaster. I will not repeat what’s being said, a danger so imminent and immediate that ignoring it is as unreal as the situation itself.

​

So there.

​

I can do what I have been doing for 8 years today. Get the odd juices flowing, voices humming as always creating a small space for those who’ve been there despite that.
