Wow the last paragraph really resonates with me. For your words to connect with whoever they're meant to, and I imagine, our ancestors maybe thought the same when they wrote letters to loved ones. My legs started to tingle seeing photos of the heathered hills. It brings me back to being among the Orkney Islands reconnecting to ancestral origins. Kinanaskomitin (I thank you) for sharing your words and musings.

When I sit down to write these posts I imagine I’m writing to a friend, so I really love that analogy of our ancestors writing to loved ones. Thank you, Lee Mae.

Your writing is a tonic I need for the troubles of today’s life. I live in Michigan, in the US. That should explain my need for soul soothing. My great grandparents (all of them) are straight from Ireland. I know one set were farmers. Keep up the good work!

It brings me so much joy to hear that my words might soothe your soul across the ocean. We all need a bit of soul soothing in these troubled times :) Thank you, Trish.

Your world's are gorgeous, and should be enjoyed raw, telling your stories just as they are. I admire what you do and the life you lead. I'm trying to introduce more wildness into my life and the little patch of land we happen to inhabit, and with my writing try to introduce my readers to the wildness that is still clinging on, just barely, in the overlooked nooks and crannies, hedges and verges all around us. You inspire me so much. 💕

Thank you so much Ali, you are always so kind. Oh yes, let the wildness in! I love your writing on the wild plants and their medicines still clinging on all around us when you start to look, and how you weave the old stories and forgotten wisdom in as well.

That's meant to be words, not world's... damn autocorrect! 😫
