This is such a wonderfully evocative piece Laura - it resonated deeply with me as I only recently returned from Thailand where I began my journey as a writer. I also felt so inspired to write there, as all my senses were constantly stimulated by the rich culture and nature around every corner. I effortlessly felt an eagerness to capture the world on paper. This was a beautiful read, thank you!
beautifully expressed and the theme made me remember how I used letters home when I took my first solo travel to record the moments. I asked my mother to save the letters and years later I have them.
Beautiful essay. I am swept away by your writing style. I wrote about this topic in my notebook today. Thank you for being the anchor text and Inspiration. I wasn't sure there was a moment for me becoming a writer but after a few starts I found the moment. It was writing in a notebook in my university library. My pen ink flowing on the page in a beam of sunlight. I can remember the texture of the page and that feeling. I wouldn't have arrived there without you holding my hand with your words. Thank you for the gift.
Your writing is likened to bIrds’ singing in the companionship of willows’ smile - there are so many in it, variety of pattern and musical sound, every line of it is a poetry
What a beautiful, lyrical piece. I was there with you.
Thank you so much, Jude 🪶
Memory writing at its best. Just lovely.

Oh, I love that you pinpointed the moment, Tammy! And the beam of sunlight — gorgeous. 💫
I love this piece - I could imagine myself on a purple bicycle beside you...
Thank you so much, Rebecca! (I still think purple is the best possible colour for a bicycle, I have one in my shed 🥰)
Hi Laura
Your writing is likened to bIrds’ singing in the companionship of willows’ smile - there are so many in it, variety of pattern and musical sound, every line of it is a poetry
Thank you so much! 🪶
Wow, what a story. How amazing that you can pinpoint the start. Thank you for being so generous with the details of the moment.
