Voyager 2023

So… we’re nearly two years on

And time, as they say, does make a difference.

Does it heal?

I’m not so sure about that.


Time changes things,

Time helps us to practice our responses to loss,

Time moves forward,

Taking us with it…

If we are prepared to make that voyage.


But the sharp edges of loss and grief

Can still wound

And the empty spaces of place and time

Echo with spirits and silence.
