Wow, what an enjoyable read.... I really love exploring the idea of losing oneself, only to later rediscover a new version of who you are. It's so frightening to surrender to uncertainty, but doesn't it also spark a sense of thrill and excitement for the adventures that lie ahead? :)
I love the sentence 'The future, like the fog, is opaque but I see hopeful beauty in its mystery.' Even if there's fog, usually at least a little bit of light can be seen... and the moment when the sun starts to find its way through the fog is the most beautiful. Like with the future, sometimes we suddenly see the light and everything become clearer.
Thanks for sharing hour beautiful writing. I also really enjoyed hearing you recently on the Bibliotherapists podcast. I love and identify with what you say about the future being opaque. Yet , when we are fearful, we must remember we only have to walk into it one step at a time.
I was given a copy of Chasing Fog for Christmas. I am loving it. I dip in and out and am looking at fog in a completely different way. It is beautiful, unpredictable and, at times, scary - perhaps a little like a New Year. :)
Ahh, yes so true 🌫️✨ I’m so glad you’re loving Chasing Fog. If when you’ve finished reading it you have a moment spare to leave a review on Amazon or similar, I’d be hugely grateful—reviews really help. 🌫️
Of course, I'd be happy to. I am still early in and have just read about the keeper of the lights, Percy Palmer, and his wife, Olive. Such a beautiful story and so special that you shared it within the book. :)
"Surrendering to uncertainty" - that is the way I often feel, but this year I am going to embrace that feeling, lean into it. I plan to submit my poetry more often than last year, for if I don't at least try, I'll never know the possibilities. Wishing you a wonderful new year!

Yes! Always looking for the emerging slivers of light! ✨

And to you! Thank you for reading ✨
As opaque as the future might be the fog always lifts, and so do we.
Beautiful Laura, thank you, and I must get your book!
Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoy Chasing Fog…
