Loved the image of folding the cards only to have them dealt again. Such a beautiful metaphor for the ways love keeps inviting us back to the table, no matter how many times we’ve been hurt before 🖤

Genius bit of writing in there beauty, something metaphorical and very projectional - powerful and I started writing something around the word portal earlier that has turned into the word Fractal - so I like the resonance of the word ‘portal’ turning up here too. 👌✨felt the movement in this peice - it’s not stuck or stagnant - real moving energy and voice in it - which collectively is great 😊

and any recipient of this poem would like you not to "fold again".....this poem gave me a visceral response, like a gentle tug of the tide drawing the sand slightly from under feet encouraging another step towards the ocean
