I love this, Kerri. My birthday is on the 29th of December and I can totally relate. This year, for some reason, I have connected with the idea of the liminal time between Saint Stephen and Epiphany and it’s definitely given a different dimension to my birthday and the time around it. When I read your article, my heart jumped in joy and recognition. What a gift! I wish you all the best in this new journey around the son.
Hello lovely one and blessings for your born day. I too am marking the omen days and it is such an act of openness and richness, as is your writing. Much of my work this year is linked to a project called Welcome Home - it somehow seems right. I have no contact with my father - his choice - or my sister - my choice. I still love who they were when we loved each other . Who they became later does not for me, negate the love they gave me earlier. That was true love at that time. Two opposing facts can be true at the same time - this truth I carry constantly within me, it is not always comfortable but it is true. I do not know whether you know the old, traditional story of Truth and Story - it is rather lovely. It is all about truth and the discomfort of it, being carried within the beauty and comfort of story. Perhaps this is what we all strive for as writers. …. Kx
