It may seem like a strange thing to say but, after many years of therapy, group work and personal work with my partner, going …
One day this week I heard that there had been earthquakes in New Zealand again – something of great import to me (because I have family and beloveds there). Apparently, it was several weeks ago and I hadn’t heard. I’ve concluded it must have been while I was away on the latest stage of the …
