Remember when I used to write poetry? I am looking forward to visiting the National Folk Festival in Canberra this Easter. It’s been six years since I last attended. Makes me feel all nostalgic and poetic. Here’s a repeat of a poem from my early, hopeful days in this place.
The Womb. The GREAT MOTHER. The jewel in the crown. This place. Our world.

That’s a very old one, Punam. I had forgotten that I had whole heap of early stuff that very few people have seen. Might as well recycle because I’ve got nothing left in me anymore.

You have a lot left in you, Tracy. But I do get you. This world is getting murkier and I too am losing my optimism and positivity and wonder if writing really makes any difference. So I stop often. But I write again because I can’t help not write. Sending you hugs.
