This morning began in the field with soft fog, light rain, and nothing but birdsong and the earth steady beneath my feet. There was a calmness that felt grounding, the kind that settles into your body before your mind has even caught up. Under the lunar eclipse, with Mercury retrograde stirring the deeper layers, it felt like a moment of clarity. A quiet invitation to let go of old patterns and make space for something gentler.
I find collecting pieces of pottery I find in the soil calming—small, imperfect, irregular ‑shaped things that feel like reminders of how we rebuild ourselves. How we gather what’s meaningful. How we choose what comes with us into the next season. Each piece feels like a tiny act of reclamation, a way of honouring the parts of myself I’m learning to hold with more softness.
And then the day unfolded… hectic, tangled, full of needs and not enough time to meet them. One of those days where everything slips through your fingers and you feel stretched thin. The kind of day that tests the very patterns you’re trying to release.
But eclipses have a way of showing us what’s no longer working. They illuminate the friction points, the habits that drain us, the places where we’re still carrying more than we need to.
By evening, I found myself back in the same field. The sky had opened into something spacious and forgiving, the kind of light that makes you exhale without realising you were holding your breath. My dog ran ahead, joyful and certain, reminding me that even the messiest days can end in softness.
Letting go isn’t linear. Healing isn’t tidy. But the earth keeps offering us these thresholds—morning fog, evening sky, the steady rhythm of nature—inviting us to begin again, piece by piece, like pottery gathered in our hands.
Thank you for walking these seasons with me. May tonight bring you a little more ease.
