I've been feeling this longing too, Alice. Only in the wild places, untouched by the machine, do I feel truly connected and at peace. I escape into my own space with pen & paper as much as possible, and you've reminded and inspired me to open my paper notebook today. Thank you, lovely, for a beautiful, timely post. Much love, Carol xx PS The Imaginists is my latest venture, hence the new substack account. I'll be writing / sharing on there from now on. ✨💛✨

That was a meditation, listening to your calming voice reading your pure words. I saved it in my Substack account so as not to forget or lose my connection to this piece.

I love this.

I long to slow down too. Eliminate the chatter of life, remove the drama.

Sometimes I wonder if I should become a nun!

Like you, I find paper and pen the perfect antidote - to ease up, write, tease the thoughts out.

And suddenly, an hour has passed.

Thank you for such a thoughtful post.
