I went through your patreon to find where you had posted this for free previously and read it again when i first opened the email, but this time i listened to you read it and while your words made my heart crack open with feeling each time, hearing them in your voice made me cry.

Thank you for sharing with us.

😊 I've spent some time since i first saw your video abt garden space and read the patreon posts trying to picture what it would look like for myself. I'm still not sure about the answers but i did remember that I'd used similar imagery in a song i wrote a bit ago except for my rather tangled and thorny emotions and thought patterns. Hopefully I'll be able to find what else grows in me as i learn to clear the overgrowth of unhelpful things.

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful piece. I am very much in the early days of experiencing grief, but these days feel very much like caring for a tender sapling. Sometimes I feel like the tender sapling attempting to stay upright in the ever changing weather. Thank you a thousand times over. May you continue to keep one another <3
