March 2024

The early spring report from Greco has more blue skies, warm temperatures, and guests, writing and creating.  It’s quiet time and while rest is a lovely concept, a word I can spell yet rarely do, focus can still happen. The hermit had to come out of hibernation for the arrival of Amanda Saxby, Paul Sperring, Clare Downie, Derek Sankar & Sacha Leah Binah. Hermit to houseful, which included a birthday trip to Porto Timoni for Clare, taking friends to the places I already love, with a bit of shared weeding and house-holding thrown in. 

The day water came in through one of the ceilings was a little worrying, though Benjamin Heath, the previous owner showed up and showed me where the pipes and bends live above the ceiling in my studio. House management is a mystery. That day, I counted 7 people helped - Kostas calling the phone company, a guy coming to improve the internet, Ben clearing clogged u-bends, a plumber coming to install the heater (still not quite complete but no drips), Derek to have dinner with and John Knight and Jonathan Wurr holding space for me to be overwhelmed in. Some days are harder than others to do this, and yet what’s obvious I’m always supported. The divine masculine is alive and kicking in very practical ways. 

I’m glad February was a little hiatus. A little busy. But a little hiatus.
