  1. It is so cool to hear your voice and see you read. Beautiful post. It seems weird that we have been writing and connecting for almost two years and that is the first time I have heard your voice. It is amazing. Thank you for sharing this. I am in love with hearing writers read their work now...

  3. Thanks so much for posting this - it's amazing to see and hear you read these words. They are amazing words, and your voice and face are so full of love and determination that they become even more amazing.

    Love to you.

  6. Such wonderful words. I agree with erica, there is so much love and determination in your voice. I think this post is so amazing, particularly considering how very soon after Lyra's death it was written. Such grief combined with such clarity of expression and perspective. Your love for your daughter is so present in all that you create, your beautiful artwork and your beautiful words x

  14. Oh wow. I loved the post written... but to hear it aloud by your voice... breath-taking. That was wonderful (no nails on chalkboard anywhere). But I have to disagree on something: Girl, you ARE a writer, whether you give yourself that label or not. :)

    Wishing you all the colours in the world! Much love to you... xoxo

  15. I just read this before coming upon your post -

    And when your eyes
    freeze behind
    the grey window
    and the ghost of loss
    gets in to you,
    may a flock of colours,
    indigo, red, green,
    and azure blue
    come to awaken in you
    a meadow of delight.

    - and then you say it over again.

    I love your words. Thank you. So sorry Lyra isn't here. x

  17. Rachel - this is beautifully read. I remember reading this very first post of yours and understanding the grey/ black rather than the colors that once were. It is wonderful to hear your voice and to hear you say your daughters name. Beautiful!
