Kindness in greeting

So thankful to gather

To find less together

Outside-ness and cold

Friendships received in

Sweet harmonisations

Raptures unwrapping

Both newness and old

Attoning for lost years

Rich music resuming

Creative attunment

In Beacons of Heart.

After years of refurbishment, yesterday saw the re-opening of The Bristol Beacon, a newly beloved centre for live music. It was such a joyful and generous gathering of people, celebrating the vibrancy of this citys creativity, music, togetherness and dance.

And to think only a few years ago those many thousands of people could not, were not, allowed to spend time together in such a way.

Over the rest of Advent, each day, I aim enter and share here a tincture of the grateful Heart.
