Dear A, I hope that as always, my letter finds you well. It is my understanding that you might be struggling. As Dear Mr. Darcy would say, "would I but could I" take your suffering away. Instead I offer you my own thoughts on a practice that has helped me in a similar state. 

Sincerely, and Always, 

-V

Send your question in with "From A" as the starter and look forward to a response as soon as I am able. Some questions can lend themselves to requiring more thoughtful and thought out replies, please allow space for time to think these responses from me through.

Credit for today's quote is an excerpt plucked carefully from the greater literary work of Virginia Woolf, titled "The Waves".

"How much better is the silence; the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves myself being myself."

Thank you so much as always for listening, words truly can't express how full my heart feels when I receive all your feedback on the show. Until the next letter my friends.

Dear A, it's been a bit hasn't it? Summer has come and now I suppose, almost gone and I have to say it has been a season of learning. As always I hope to write again soon and hope that you are well.

Honorable mention to Tumblr user @whatriverrunsdeeperthanthis for our use of their text posts, "I need to swim in a Clea cold stream and then lie down on a big warm rock in the sun to dry. This is non-negotiable."

Dear A, Have you been well? Recently I have been spending time at the sea- I go whenever I feel like my heart might be too much for my own bones to carry. I've collected sea shells and glass and I think I'll never be quite rid of any of the sand that travels with me.
