What a beautiful, thoughtful and tender(footed) piece of writing. All the luck in the world with the manuscript - walking will always matter and the ways we live and move through the world will always be important, scandal or no scandal xx

Love that I dip into substack for five minutes and there’s you on permission and Jeanette Winterson on living in language and for silence, and reams of Andrea Gibson. Good five (which rolled into twenty) minutes to be alive. Xxxx

The desperation to steal and lie in order to maintain the middle class lifestyle people think they're entitled to will likely continue. All the harping on trust in a criminal system is pretty funny...and tragic. I can only echo Hannah's comment....this walking back/ into ourselves could well be one of the few modes of genuine renewal and repair left to get us home and will continue long after the chattering classes have moved onto the next attention grab!
