How neat to have made that connection with Leunig, Darby 🧡 There are no coincidences as they say.

Was pretty trippy. He was super kind/generous with responses to my questions! Leunig and The Beatles were placed into me DNA by mum!

Love this (and preordered.) I think there’s just times where the ideas and the words have been waiting to be put together once you’re ready and they’re the times it just flows of it’s own accord.

Ah well said. They’d felt bottled up or something. There was no trying. It felt like they’d arrived by themselves. Was a good feeling!

Seems maybe some things need bottled up, left to age until the perfect moment presents itself. I can’t think of a more magical time for a divine “uncorking”than that last week of the year.
