Last Sunday, during our live Poetic Pointings session, I read my poem The Song of the Mother — and something opened.
Several women said it was one of the most impactful poems they’d ever heard.
It reached places beyond language.
It stirred something long-hidden back to life.
So this week’s Still Point Session is devoted entirely to it.
This session is not a teaching.
It’s a remembering.
A slowing down.
A gentle, potent return to the parts of you that are finally ready to be held with love.
Inside, you’ll receive:
✨ A spoken transmission of the poem
✨ A guided reflection to meet your “banished children” with compassion
✨ A quiet invitation to embody what your soul already knows

This audio journey is free to all.
If it nourishes you, I invite you to subscribe — and receive a new Still Point Session every week, freely offered as part of this living practice of grace.
And if you’d like to go deeper, Poetic Pointings is a live monthly Zoom gathering available to members of Circle of Grace — my paid community for women walking a path of clarity and compassion.
Our next gathering is Sunday, 27th July. You are welcome.
With love,

Happy to join in the Stillness
Your poem is so beautiful, Susan, and so thought provoking. We are quick to give love and compassion to others. We mother our children, calming them when they are scared, singing to them as they fall asleep. We listen to others rehash their day, asking what they need from us. Yet it doesn’t even occur to us that, just maybe, we should treat ourselves with the same love and compassion. There is a scared little girl inside most of us who needs to be loved, to have her hair braided, to be heard. “What do you need, my darling?” Open your heart and listen. 💕
