You are including so many powerful images and experiences of you and your father, as to get to know both of you from the inside out. Thank you for sharing this journey.<br /><br />Elloa, I was so touched by your comment. You are truly a gift. Having your comments is like an angle seconding the beauty Nige is creating, and vice versa.Brooke https://www.blogger.com/profile/16569793565975815862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105202636799038277.post-87342073039369353922010-12-18T16:29:15.829-08:002010-12-18T16:29:15.829-08:00When you spoke at Jim's funeral, the room stil...When you spoke at Jim's funeral, the room stilled, all hearts becoming one. You spoke about Jim the man who believed he'd been robbed of a childhood, and I breathed in a huge sigh, eyes and heart wide open at the depth of your honesty. The room heard you, Nige, heard you speak about the vulnerability, the tenderness of his wound.<br /><br />When you spoke about carrying your bikes on your backs as you rode Salter Fell, I sensed chuckles and delight at the image of father and son taking an epic journey side by side.<br /><br />What you did that day was truly honouring, not only of your dad but also of all fathers. It was such a beautiful gift that you gave to the room, to every son in there, to every father, and indeed to every woman, every daughter.<br /><br />Thank you Nige for simply being you. Who you are is enough. Who you are blesses the world, honours your dad, and is an *absolute* blessing in my life.<br /><br />xxxElloahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109101968840744455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105202636799038277.post-3664024111706799492010-12-18T15:22:29.644-08:002010-12-18T15:22:29.644-08:00Intimate and powerful offering.

I am touched by so much of it, and I especially like this part of that poem:<br /><br />"And just at the moment when someone at my side says .'She is gone,' there are others who are watching her coming , and the other voices take up the glad shout.'There she comes!' And that is dying."Adventures In Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14654863171970580516noreply@blogger.com
