Glad you enjoyed it, Angela!
David Lynch, our beloved dad, was a guiding light of creativity, love, and peace. On Monday, January 20th βwhat would have been his 79th birthday-we invite you all to join us in a worldwide group meditation at 12:00pm NOON PST for 10 minutes. Let us come together, wherever we are, to honor his legacy by spreading peace and love across the world. Please take this time to meditate, reflect, and send positivity into the universe. Thank you for being part of this celebration of his life. Love, Jennifer, Austin, Riley and Lula Lynch
a message from David Lynchβs family for a moment of meditation on Monday (his birthday) to honor his memory:
Great to finally meet you and hear about your work and conversations π
Huge thanks to @jancarsonwrites.bsky.social and Arts Council NI. Excellent, practical novel-writing guidance and good chat in my second SIAP-funded mentorship session for novel 'A Quiet Hill'! No selfie, but here's artwork of the quiet hill by Sheila Wendes.
Final PhD amendments completedπ Thanks Caroline Magennis (Uni of Salford) and Andrew Sneddon (UU). Next stop novel publication π

Powerfully resonant words from Martin Doyle:
'It is humbling for me to contemplate ... that people I knew ... had been afflicted by such terrible loss and bore it with such dignity.'
'But in this remembering, we must decommission any such weaponising of history.'
A big cultural week here already, and it's only Wednesday... πΈ π πΉ
It feels very decadent π€©Think that's why it works... at least clears the head so you're more able for bigger questions/decisions
I took about 3 hours off yesterday. Acted like I was on holiday, told nobody where I was. I feel much fresher today. Small 'holidays' can make a big difference π
Highly recommend a wee half day out with yourself π
Hi Cauvery ππ

How do I find all the great writers, poets, academics that I connect with on the blue bird site?
Feels less intuitive here... so far!
Yay!
'When the clouds shifted, the quarry glowed blue again. It would always change and return to change.' Quietly stunning. This'll sit with me a long while
