Feathers of Hope - Allie Crewe

A new life requires a death of some kind, a letting go. What we let go of, is a way of being in the world that we have outgrown. If we faced difficulties how did we cope with them?

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul -

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all -"

Emily Dickinson

I'm finished with the silence.

The shadows behind me.

This wheelchair turning into a horse.

After BREXIT I moved from the UK

Was I a child of rape?

A suicide
