1/. “If you’re with someone you love hold them close. If you can’t be with someone you love or you’ve lost someone you love, take a moment after reading this. Close your eyes. Breath. And on think them. Think of their laugh, their touch. their soul."
These ladybirds made me cry.

2/. I’d cycled to Totteridge ystdy & spotted the ladybirds on a gravestone
It was a beautiful day
Beside the grave was a 2,000 year old yew tree
The tree - thought to be the oldest living thing in London - got me thinking about mortality & all the grief that this year has seen

3/. “The world’s more full of weeping than he can understand” (Yeats)
There is a lot of grief at the moment
Grief is important. It’s the flip side of love.
The more you deeply you love, the more deeply you must grieve
#CovidMemorialDay (1st Jan) hopes to help express our loss

4/. “And on the branches spread out wide
Every tear I’ve ever cried.”
Grief needs to be witnessed
If it isn’t expressed it can turn to depression or anger
We are not able to hold each other but #CovidMemorialDay offers a moment to come together & mourn collectively as a planet
