You have me with tears in my eyes. I so needed to read this right now and your timing couldn't have been more perfect. I sat down with a cuppa (green of course), to check out my own SubStack. I didn't even get to it, when I was waylaid by your post. The image totally drew me in at first - I thought it was a swooping eagle's wings. I was also intrigued by nettles being the subject because I've been really drawn to nettles this Spring, which, I guess, means I need their incredible healing potency and all the more so at the moment because there is a vast amount of prickery going on in my private world right now. You spoke directly to my heart in this post, as I ponder the same dislocation of memory and relationship (though not nearly in such eloquent terms, I have to say and many, many uses of the word 'fuck' to go with...)

I wanted to mark Equinox with a post. However, because of said prickery, I was not feeling so much of the balance. Hence, I cheated and posted an audio somatic balancing practice, which I recorded last year, at a time when I was genuinely feeling it and a poem I wrote a few years back, when I was also feeling that beautiful balance. I suspect I posted mostly for myself because it is what I need but your brilliant post here this morning, has reminded me that I am not alone. Go raibh míle maith agat mo chara....x
