I love how home and place equals a threshold.

These portals in the everyday world feel magical

Yasmin, I love how thought follows movement in your writing about the walk. The idea that every walk is unique, like a doodle (or a snowflake?) is so magical. Our bodies enter a space, our thoughts settle in, and the experience is unrepeatable. Lovely!

Thankyou Julie. It could be said that with every walk we make a unique piece of performance art.

"I leave traces of my being on the ground and in the air." So often I think of these leftovers negatively but in this picture you paint, they are joys and rewards of outside. Of observing other life, but also the self.

Yes, Stacy. We contribute to the world around us microscopically, in infinite ways.

To each word, from each of you beautiful inspiring women, I sigh... a speechless whisper of thanks - these are all a slice of heaven!

You are so kind, Susie. We have found a way of inspiring each other I think, and take great pride in what we're doing. Each month we'll move with the flow of a new piece. And next month I'll be leading, which very exciting!
