The metaphor of the night as a wounded animal is so vivid. It really makes you think about the things we run from and why.

Thank you, dear one.

Sure it is, cause the animal is also wounded

I would really appreciate the meaning you have behind the poem x

It’s about avoidance. What we try to avoid can be sometimes the things that can help us understanding some things about ourselves. I will talk more about it in the reflection of the week coming out on Wednesday.

This was beautifully written, Odel. When we run from ourselves we avoid tending to our wounds. When we avoid ourselves others may get hurt, ourselves included.
