'And the other saying that has been very present to me for the last twelve months is Tim Winton - 'the natural world leans in to the human world and longs to be noticed' and I think for me sort of God or Other, there is something more if you like - I don't always use God language because it has a connotation about it that some people struggle with - leans in and longs to be noticed.

So the morning weight of things - God leaning in - I think the interruptions of life can often become the invitations.'
