An expanding time with my 5 yr old grandson, talking about patterns that we see in nature. We got on to fingerprints + their uniqueness to ourselves. “How many fingerprints does God have?” We came to a consensus - as many as there are people; past, present and future. Wow!

And another glorious Welsh retreat last week

[Hilly Raphael @HillyRaphael]

"Hilly’s Welsh Retreat
Amid green hills she roams,
Cuckoo’s call echoes her joy

A haiku about your trip"

A blessing from one of my sons from whom I learn so much.

@ChrisPalmerMD And as a wise young person once said to me “Symptoms are signs of something that matters not just on a list for a diagnosis to be made”. Bravo Jenni!

@paulpowlesland Agree that it’s vital for now to keep a presence on Twitter - there has to be glimmers of light & hope, of vision & imagination for a better future.

@alastairmci And yet thankfully I still find snippets of direct news and astute comment from certain trusted posts, plus poetry, music, ideas that brighten.. I’ve less heart to post but maybe I should.

@WigtownBookShop Gutted I missed this one!

[Hilly Raphael @HillyRaphael]

@wakingdreams20 Checking to see that I have this book - and if not I will be getting a copy! Also I would add to the replacement, “embodied and grounded” as I learned from your course Allan!

A brilliant memorable week staying + working @WigtownBookShop; I managed the til!! Book-buying trips across misty hills & past stunning coastline. Grateful thanks for a most amazing welcome + hospitality (a deep lesson I carry home) plus a couple of Shaun’s books…
I recommend!

@joannaofottawa What a brilliant photo and memory!

[Hilly Raphael @HillyRaphael]

The grandmother tree pruned (another generation of cuttings set) + brought indoors for the winter; she is gnarled & weathered but thrives + such glorious interweave of stems above the earth; part of the root system visible. This was my mother’s plant - now I am the grandmother..
