For Sunday Afternoon
High Tea
The Obvious was so totally ridiculous
I decided to take refuge in the Absurd
When truths were much stranger
than fictions
I made good use of my lemons
To fly free

Safe Travels
Lemon Tree Reprise

I imagine you might know
Know I was looking
For that one pure heart
down by the riverbank
then I felt yours
a soft beat
in the Night

We are not made to live in Cages created by Others
We are not made for games
created by wolves
We are free to imagine our own futures
Safe and Sound with Love

Started the day with Superwomen & Alicia Keys
So bedtime chorus

For all women & mothers searching

‘For the better parts of yourself
For all the Mothers fighting
For better days to come’

‘It matters what you think
It matters what you know
There is no other place to go’

If you have worked with displaced families or been displaced yourself, the pull home is gravitational
Watching people returning is emotional #Gaza

Power walk for the SuperMum activists on #DVAM

Keep the Superwoman costume on until you meet someone who treats you with the respect your worth merits

Have a good weekend
And no over giving

Currently reading How To Kill A Witch by @clairekc.bsky.social and Zoe Venditozzi which is, as anticipated, fascinating, witty, political and full of human stories.

One of my favourite French artists Zaz sums up one of my survival strategies for a balanced life #WMHD
It’s a real struggle sometimes but you have to forgive stuff for your own sanity

Start tomorrow at a pavement café with a blank page

We retain the joy of the Past & take its essence into the Future

The hidden courtyard
Our inner worlds
Full of surprises & depth
How much we hide away
After personal catastrophe
How much we gain
From opening the outer doors
those bolted & locked
to stay safe

Wherever there is a traumatised child, there’s a need for trauma-responsive teaching & trauma-informed classrooms

Educational outcomes are greatly impacted by Mental Health & Well-Being

With thoughts for the children on

ike stars across the sky
E per avvincere
Tu dovrai vincere
We were born to shine
All of us here
because we believe
Guarda avanti e non voltarti mai
Accarezza con i sogni tuoi
Le tue speranze e poi
Verso #UnaRealePossibilità

Because Peace is a Win

A chill in the Northern air
Day translates to night
The perfect way to end afternoons
Following the colour through the woods
Sipping tea in the cold light

In Cold Light

Oak tree on farm land this evening

The acorn does not know that it will become a sapling.
The sapling only dimly senses that it will become a mighty oak.

Remember this for all your projects

18 years ago but still an issue across borders & as discussed yesterday, public perception of Language skills is quite superficial. It's a whole mindset. Fortunately I stood my ground on the integrity of translation then & I do still now

Thanks. I support this also in judicial proceedings where the issue of monies &lack of professionalism means "translators" may be chosen because they are the "cheapest option" & do an appalling job where every word can count in getting justice- our case. Makes me livid. Quality people, quality pay
