The Mountain | Poem by Laura Ding-Edwards.

A poem to encourage us when sometimes we feel it's difficult to justify our self care.

(Just want to clarify this poem is not by me, I saw it on social media and it really struck a chord :) )

The most dramatic weather I have ever been in. My daughter ensured that her daughter got to a school camp in Canberra by canoeing 500 yards along her flooded lane to the road where they were met by her sister and driven to the meeting spot.
