But mourning exists without narrative; it’s not something you can itemise in a eulogy. The river’s current will stick with you for longer than you expect, and you’ll emerge and re-emerge from the worst parts of it feeling as shocked by the ways you’ve stayed the same as you are by the way you’ve changed. Like a newborn in a swimming pool, trying to analyse your progress is only going to make the water feel heavier around you. Your body knows what it’s doing. In the moments that you feel yourself entirely submerged, trust that your heart rate may slow, your throat may close and the pressure may build, but your body knows how to navigate this space, even if your mind does not. Every fibre of you is already working slowly and carefully to navigate this new emotional landscape, if you let it. That’s how survival happens—by gentle instinct, not by achievement or analysis. Take the time to be in your body, listen to every soft and hurting part of yourself whenever you feel the urge: beat to beat, without scrutiny, until you can resurface. However you’re going, you’re going okay.

In collaboration with Dumbo Feather, Verandah is giving away two free tickets to see Tara Moss at the White House (not that White House) in Melbourne.

Tara Moss is a writer, UNICEF ambassador and proud feminist. She has spent time in Lebanon providing care to Syrian refugees, and after a series of crime novels, has just published her first non-fiction book, The Fictional Woman.

As well as being in the presence of Tara Moss and other wonderful, like-minded people, your ticket will include drinks, nibbles, and a goodie bag from Dumbo Feather.

If you would like to come along and be a part of the conversation then all you need to do is head to Verandah’s Facebook page and give this post a share. We’re sure there’s a few budding writers and artists amongst your friends that are just waiting to be discovered.

Best of luck!

Verandah.

[gallery] I was interviewed by Kate for Dumbo Feather No. 17. Kate got me talking about letterpress printing, my art practise, and everything in between. The interview ended up running over 20 pages so there aint much about me left to say.
