This is a simple collection of beautiful words. They are poems, quotes, lyrics, and stories that have resonated with me, and some that I’ve written myself. I hope you enjoy reading my website, lovingly named after lines in Martha Postlewaite’s ‘Clearing’.

"...create a clearing in the dense forest of your life, and wait there patiently, until the song that is your life falls into your own cupped hands, and you recognise and greet it."
