here to be held and how else, when to be held is to be h----d,

here to be held and how else, when to be held is to be hel––d,

(how can we describe emotional labour)

– there may be no sweat on our brows
– can’t any small act have larger implications?
– gestures of care: it is not just about the flowers
– tree crutches, vine supports, held by a stake
– willow has a natural rooting hormone in its stem,
this assists rooting of other plants around it

– we lean in, we give ourselves up to listening,
and how else

here to be held and how else, when to be held is to h----d
