Iโm someone with lots of smiles. But from time to time, I've been to that tough place. While I've felt suicidal, I've never tried to take my own life. I've talked about how I'm feeling to Samaritans. Suicide smashes lives apart. Please help prevent it. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
Iโm fundraising for Samaritans. From time to time, they've offered me a space to open up, without being judged or fixed. They honour where youโre at - human to human.๐งต(1/3)

when we lay down
the toil
of mending
& step
into a space
for listening
free-stitching
between souls
allowing
what arises
words
loosely held
thereโs grace
the relief
of just
being human

Love #SpacesForListening ! Thank you, Brigid Russell and Charlie Jones for holding that human space - so unique each time but each one forming part of a bigger pocket in the ether. ๐๐๐
