I write this from Australia Wednesday 21st May 2025. Very recently I moved interstate with my eldely companion cat Sooty to live closer to my son and his family. Today Sooty was euthanized because his heart was failing fast.

So now I definitely feel between two worlds - between the home I left and a cat who was my constant companion, and a new home without my cat now in a new city I have yet to become settled in. Thank you for your gentle words which helped me realise there's something new for me around the corner.

ahhhhhh...the spaces between stories, the places where questions can breathe... I turn these words around and around to gaze at them---thank you for this gift! Without those spaces between the notes...a song would be drowned in cacophony. This morning I watch the tender green shoots of growth expanding in the spaces I allow for them.
