Grief
“All a poet can do today is warn.”
― Wilfred Owen
Much has been written on the subject.
Perhaps too much.
And mostly, but not exclusively, it’s been orientated towards those closest to us.
But what about the loss of a career?
Or the degradation of the planet?
Or the annihilation of a whole species?
For me, it’s not that these subjects deserve more coverage, but I feel them just as much as those I’ll no longer see. In fact, it might be said that their portent goes beyond grief and leaves me feeling quite depressed and often upset at how a species — i.e. humans — could have so little regard for the world they inhabit.
Take care.
Love, Julian


I find this fellow to be on your wavelength. He is all about the storyteller in the old Irish tradition. His name is Martin Shaw on Substack
