Alone

Posted on: October 4, 2022 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

Image by Greg Rakozy on Unsplash I love David Whyte’s Poetry and Writings. I love David Whyte’s voice and the way he reads his Work. I love how he turns words over, how he massages formerly unnoticed meanings out of them. How he carves then places jewels in everyday words, so that you cannot help […]

Rougher and Smoother Grief Grooves

Posted on: September 27, 2022 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

Main image by Leslie Cross on Unsplash. Other pictures my own.  Last weekend, Medjool and I went to the Valais to enjoy a late summer weekend of mountain walking. The hotel and two nights’ accommodation had been generously booked and paid for by him months – possibly even a year – ago. Innocently and caringly […]

Honouring our Grief, Embracing our Mortality

Posted on: September 20, 2022 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

This is the Sermon I gave on 11th September at Trinity Church in Geneva, Switzerland  Image by Mike Payne on Unsplash Good morning everyone. My name is Emma Pearson. It is an honour to talk with you about honouring our grief and embracing our mortality, particularly in light of our Queen’s death earlier this week. […]

Take Me to Church

Posted on: September 13, 2022 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

Photos my own, taken at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Geneva, Switzerland Yesterday, unusually, I went to church. Twice. And I spoke. From the pulpit. Yes – really. I had been invited – some six or more months ago – to speak at the Holy Trinity Church in Geneva, an Anglican church. As often […]

Grief and Loss Witnessed From Further Out

Posted on: September 6, 2022 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

Main image by Sean Oulashin on Unsplash As so often when I sit down to write, my starting point could be one of so many. My ending point could be one of so many. And where I go in between could be many many many directions. One starting point could be the importance of mentors, […]

A Pyrenean Adventure Written in Thumb and Swype

Posted on: August 30, 2022 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

27 August 2022 I thought I would pull together the various updates I posted on to Facebook when I had occasional internet access during our Pyrenean Haute Route – begun last summer, and completed this year. Inspired by my dad John and my uncle Ian who completed it in well into their 60s (in one […]

Why her? Why you? Why now?

Posted on: August 23, 2022 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

This post from Emma from early 2021 still resonates….we all ask the “Why” question. Medjool has a precious childhood friend – let’s call him Yves – who is still very much a presence in his life today. To say that Yves is spiritually aware, spiritually curious, even spiritually provocative, would be an understatement. I am […]

Talking to the Dog – Again

Posted on: August 16, 2022 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

Today, a sweltering hot-for-us day, as I turned up the stairs towards my home office and saw Black the dog outside in the garden, I called out to him, “Stay well hydrated, Blacky, won’t you?” He just looked at me. He didn’t nod. He didn’t get up and trot over to his probably too warm […]

“Worse Things Happen At Sea”

Posted on: August 9, 2022 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

Photos my own and a scan from my dad Growing up in Brussels in the 1970s and 1980s, there were a couple of sea-related sayings that were oft used in our family. Not that we lived close to the sea. Though we did cross the English Channel and the North Sea a few times a […]

Inspired by Rosemerry’s Daughter

Posted on: August 2, 2022 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

Image by Juliane Liebermann on Unsplash I receive – and devour – the daily poems of the poet and storyteller, Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer. I first came across her work through Megan Devine’s weekly and monthly prompts. As is the way of the world, once you come across someone’s work, you see it quoted in myriad […]

Counting Trees While Swimming

Posted on: July 26, 2022 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

Main Image by Laura Smetsers on Unsplash Yesterday I attempted to swim across Lac Léman/Lake Geneva at its widest point – Lausanne on the north shore, in Switzerland, to Evian, famed for its ubiquitous spring water, in France, on the south. It’s 13 km as the crow flies. And even when the weather is impeccable […]

Reasons to, Reasons not to

Posted on: July 19, 2022 | Posted by: Emma Pearson

Images my own, July 2022 – Lake Geneva In a couple of days, I hope to swim across Lake Geneva at its widest point – Lausanne to Evian. 13 km. A smidge over 8 miles. As the crow flies. And I am neither a crow, nor am I flying. Instead, the wind seems to be […]
