This is an incredible piece, Polly. I really resonate with the darkness being a womb.

Thank you for sharing your contemplations and findings! It reminded me a bit of what Andrea Gibson wrote in one of her beautiful poems, to not call it ‘depression’ but instead call it ‘hibernation’.

It’s a totally different and for me at least, a more true meaning of the Darkness that has a nurturing aspect.

Thank you for your wisdom and insight, Polly, gleaned from your honest reflections on the hard things in life as well as the beautiful and joyous. I have had a lot of darkness in recent months and pondering on the womb rather than the tomb gives me a new perspective from which to draw strength. Didn't realise you had lost all your horses. Such painful partings. Sending love to you and Alix xx

Wise, empowering insights Polly.

But what if the answer is to go small.

Wait, trust earth

Be the feminine witnesses.

I’ll be pondering what this means for me.
