The thread on which our own life hangs will tremble, but even in those moments where we could lose our grip at any time, we sing in hope, and it is, perhaps, in those moments that we find our wings.
Oh amazing! Hospices are such wonderful places. I'd never seen the interview before, what a wonderful woman she is.
Sadly, the hospice home carers have lost the contract here for end of life care. They are such wonderful people with such special skills and it's so sad that they won't be doing this job anymore.
Humanity has such common themes running through our threads that it's such a shame so much division still exists.
Such a moving piece and love the analogy of the strength of a thread. I don't remember this interview with Dame Cicely, and how remarkable she was. I had a great fondness for Russell Harry who was an excellent interviewer and dear man. He was treated appallingly by the press at the end of his life -it was totally unforgivable and I couldn't help but think while watching it, he didn't live many years after, and it made it all the more affecting.
Thanks so much for reading 🙏🌿 There’s another (longer) lovely interview with her on YouTube with Judith Chalmers. You’re right about Russell Harty, he died far too young.
I love the way you have used the example of an actual thread that hangs out of a piece of clothing. That's really smart and thoughtful. Many lessons are learned as we walk ahead in life. It's up to us to slow down and truly think about what each experience is teaching us. Lovely post as always!✨
And sometimes if you pull that hanging thread the whole garment comes unravelled, maybe on occasions this is a good thing to happen. You write beautiful and with such sincerity.
I wonder if we can make peace with the uncertainty we can find peace ourselves? Such a beautiful and soul searching post, you have expressed the courage to put into words what many of us may feel.
Thank you for putting some of these thoughts into words. I can't tell you how much it resonated with me, particularly "I’ve always lived with a deep feeling that my life hangs by a thread. Hands almost threadbare with tension, I cling to this ever-floating cord which might snap at any moment. Life is fragile." 🙏
Lots to think about here. I don't want to control what is around me so I am fine with that. Increasingly, I don't want to control my own life. I have lost 4 best friends in 3 years, all died far too young. So, I am humbled that my path in the living world continues. I have a personal mantra at the moment 'if not now when' but I am older than you. I take each day as it finds me as well. I will read your offering again and again as it has many layers. It must have been a tough write but it is out now so do something lovely today. x
I think that’s such a wonderful mantra, and honestly, it’s a mantra for any age. I’m coming round to this way of thinking more and more; maybe it’s as I get older, but nevertheless, true of any moment in time. Thank you for reading 🙏✨

I shall look it up, thank you.

I think we need to sort out your profile so it’s got a photo 😂

I think that’s spot on 💫 Thank you so much for reading 🙏🌿
So many beautiful thoughts here! Thank you!
Thank you so much 🙏🌿
“Sometimes, we cling on a certain reassurance.
Sometimes, we find ourselves tangled up, on a never-ending quest to untangle our minds and spirits without losing grip of the thread.
Sometimes the thread breaks”.
Brilliant David, absolutely brilliant ✨
Thank you 🙏✨ I’m so glad these words resonated 🌿
