Beyond The Rainbow…
Why, oh, why can't I?
A low weather system has settled in.
The air around me feels heavy.
Nothing’s moving.
I released The Rainbow into it…
all the hurt…all the clouds I carry
& watched it sink without much trace.
My heart has been wide open
Easy to reach when others need help, guidance, or support.
Lately…when it’s my work asking to be met
…the line goes dead.
Messages hang.
I wait.
This week feels colourless…lonely
& harder than I expected.
Some days, your art finds the people who need it. When it does it can lift you both, letting the weight of making it & the pain you both share disappear.
Then there are days & weeks where sharing your life leaves you smaller & more invisible than before you shared it.
So, I wanted to start today with gratitude.
To those of you who listen, who read, who feel the storms alongside me…thank you.
I’m holding on to you a little tighter this week.

Your music is not the problem jj,I've been in abad way myself and I thank you for taking time for me, I've been listening to the downloads I've bought constantly and your music has lifted me when very little else has, I hope the rainbow 🌈 takes to the hearts of those who hear it, also sending hugs 🫂, the struggle i realise never dies but that doesn't mean your music should...
Your music lifts me up every single day. Up early this morning to brush myself up to attend and photograph the wedding of two wonderful friends. And of course I've come down with some kind of cold or 'flu bug. Things to be grateful for: it's not Covid, I just tested. I might need to do less hugging than I wanted, and I'll wear a mask indoors and when near to people. I'll be listening to your music on the way to the venue, on the way home too. And the happy couple are receiving a copy of Affinity which of course features YOU. Sending huge (and fortunately for you today, virtual) hugs and hopes that The Rainbow finds the ears it needs to find 🌈🫂
