The Relentless Seeker
Can you find "home" when you crave movement?
Dear Friend
How are you today?
I’ve had calmer starts to the day. Let’s not mention the British weather or having to deal with Ridgebacks that love to roll in fox shit before 8am! And breathe…
Last night I attended my favourite book club hosted by
, if you’re not yet a member, I highly recommend you join. Plus, you might be one of the lucky 20 that wins a copy of "book of the month". I was thrilled when Sam announced the book for June was “The Giant On The Skyline” written by the brilliant memoirist Clover’s exquisite, and at times brutal writing, evokes the complexities of belonging and feeling at home - how it extends beyond four walls into an intangible sense of connection, roots, family and self. Through hosting writing retreats with Clover, sometimes in her own home or in residences hidden in the Oxfordshire countryside, I’ve noticed how on the page and in real life, her words capture the paradox that while home can ground us, it can also confine and contract our yearning souls.
