Group Therapy

The other day I heard 

a group of ladybirds is called a loveliness 

A group of butterflies? A kaleidoscope

When sharks get together it’s called a shiver

And when starlings fly in a swarm: a murmuration 


I wonder what a group of people is called

when they sit together and their souls align 

When love feels like the sun

and you know you belong 

When your heart leaps into your throat 

and breaks a little 

When conversations don’t know how to stop 

but time does


What would you call it?

I wonder.

Welcome to my blog. I use this space as a pensieve: a place to store my memories and feelings. It’s a rest house. An easy chair. A watering hole for the soul. I’m glad you’re here. Take a look around, make yourself at home ☕
