"I lean in and say goodnight to her, stroking her hair, her shoulder and then her hand with a touch lighter than any that ever caressed her two infant granddaughters." The tenderness in this line just breaks my heart, Matt. Beautiful.
Beautifully written, as always Matt. A moment captured with such grace, bringing a sense of calm. Thank you for creating a break in the chaos this morning!
This fragment spoke to me. You put into words something I have felt for a long time: the gradations of quietness. My introverted nature yearns for quiet in a noisy world. At times, a simple quiet will do. But in moments of chaos I long for stillness. A place of rest. A connectedness to my surroundings. Thanks for this.
Thank you, Matthew. I only ever seem to find quiet when I’m with Mum. I’m always hoping for something different, but the quiet, silent, still days we spend together are also so precious.

Beautifully written. You should do this every week.
It’s an idea! I might try and do one each Friday. Not promising though. (Thank you.)
Let’s see what happens.
Thank you for this moment of peace, I’m writing about my mum and similar moments come to mind
Thank you, Sharon. Lovely to know it connects with you and your mum. 🧡
Such a beautiful reflection. Adding many sentences to my commonplace book.
That’s a lovely thing to read. Thank you, Deborah.
Felt so peaceful reading that today xx
Ahh, lovely to know. Thank you, Jo. x
A touch with words as light as fingers brushing hair aside. Beautiful words that speak volumes into the gentle silence.
Thank you, Barrie.
