I am learning finally how to be vulnerable, how to ask for help, and how to lean on friends and trust that they’ll stand steady beneath the weight. I’m coming to this lesson rather late in life, but this is a good step forward. But I’ve reached a point where I find I need to “lie low to the wall” for a while, as O’Donohue suggests in his poem. So I’m stepping away from new posts and writing in general for a while. I really couldn’t say for how long – at least until a few things have shifted a bit and the load is a little bit lighter.
I’ll still be reading and commenting on posts now and again. But ebbtide itself will be quiet for the time being.
Be wonderful and be well!

I like your clarity and resolution, Sarah. Your poems and your paintings have been a delight and an inspiration for us but they should never be allowed to become an obligation on your own shoulders. We willingly grant you leave of absence! Chill out and become refreshed! And have a glass of champagne on us! 🙂
