The Gentle Return

I hope you have had a week of fulfilment, however that looked for you.

This week, our Gathered Gold post included a poem from Walt Whitman, and we discovered that we have a Walt Whitman fan in our group ❤️. Also in our chat we discovered that poetry can come in many forms - even music! and we also welcomed our newest member to Silver Thread.

This week, I’ve relocated back to where I call home for now - Da Nang, Vietnam. And even though much has changed, it feels as though I never left.

I joined a writing club that meets weekly, and it really fills my heart to spend time with wonderful, clever, like-minded souls. It feels a bit like this group ;)

One of our subjects this week was letter writing. I had already been thinking a lot about it recently, and even included it as a prompt in your complimentary chapter, Your Beginning.

Letter writing feels like something of a dying art form, but there is something undeniably special about receiving a letter. It just hits differently than a text or an email. Something deeply human.

Letters are true life in an envelope - beautiful.

So this week, I’m writing a letter home to someone special.

I’d love to invite you to write your own letter too.

It can be to a family member, a friend, a stranger you once knew, a teacher, a special soul - or even to yourself.

Whether you send it or not is entirely up to you.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Love always, Silver
