On a blossoming tree

April’s letter to paid subscribers 🌸

Dear friends,

I’m honored that several new paid subscribers have joined Dandelion Seeds over the past month, so the first thing I want to say today is thank you — and welcome! Your support means so much, and I always hope that what I share here is a source of joy and inspiration for you.

As this might be the first subscriber essay you’re receiving from me, I also wanted to point you to a few of my favorite past letters, in case you’d enjoy reading them:

• “The light through the fern” — a story about wobbly days.

• “A suitcase full of sun” — a story about bringing back the light.

• And my favorite of all, “At the waiting desk” — a hand-lettered photo essay, featuring a passage from David Whyte’s newest book, Consolations II.

For this month’s letter, there’s one final thread I’d like to weave through the story of martenitsa bracelets.
