I built an Airbnb treehouse in my yard.
I built the treehouse by myself, and it took me about six and a half months

They met her on the corner
They met her on the corner
And she said her name was Spring
And she told them she’d been resting
Whilst the winter did its thing
As the rain had turned to snow
And she’d lit herself a fire
When the wind began to blow
She watched the winter ravage
And strip bare the stubborn trees
Whilst she’d sewn and stitched together
Brand new blossoms and their leaves
She said when it was cold
That she’d been sleeping in the warm
And when winter brought its blizzards
She’d been singing through the storm
When frosty mornings lingered
She’d been busy planting seeds
And until she could pick flowers
She had picked a book to read
And she told them, through the bleakness
She’d been writing to the sun
And the sun wrote back ‘hang in there
There are brighter days to come’
And then they looked and realised
There were flowers in her hair
Her smile was bright and sunny
And her voice had warmed the air
And then she waved goodbye
But in her wake she left them hope -
They knew the sun was on its way
To gently thaw the snow
And they felt a sense of peace
About what future days might bring
When they realised every winter
Must be followed by the spring

Sometimes we can feel cold and dark, even when the sun is shining. A reminder that your Spring will come around again.

I held a party the other week and grief came.
I held a party the other week and grief came.
She wasn’t invited but she came anyway - barged her way in through the door and settled down like she was here to stay.
And then she introduced me to the friends she’d brought with her - Anger. Fear. Frustration. Guilt. Hopelessness.
They made it messy and loud and uncomfortable.
But finally, they left.
And long afterwards, when I was all alone,
I realised there was still someone here.
Quietly clearing up after the rest.
I asked who she was and she told me, “Love.”
And I assumed that’s why she looked familiar - because I had met her before.
“Or perhaps,” she said, “it’s because I’ve been here the whole time.”
And I was confused then because I hadn’t seen her all evening.
But when I looked more closely,
when I looked into her eyes,
I realised quietly that she had been here.
All the time.
She’d just been dressed as grief.

Sometimes it helps to remember that underneath our grief, there is love. It was there before, it’s there now and it will still be there afterwards.
Love endures like nothing else can.
