We are Connected, by Melissa and Laura

The Lover Archetype - Mini Quest 2

Melissa
This Poem is important to me because it reflects how the strength and beauty of connection has been transformative for me. My connection with nature has flourished throughout my recovery journey with Write to Freedom and has allowed me to feel at peace, calm and a sense of belonging on this earth. The poem reflects the bond that I felt developed with my buddy and the joy of creating this together.

I have been in recovery for 3 and a half years, since 20th October 2016.
I have been involved with Write to Freedom since February 2017.

This poem emerged from the experience of connecting with a tree, becoming aware of the details and noticing the changes. I enjoyed the process of re-connecting daily and sharing with my buddy, it was a lot of fun! I felt supported, grounded and inspired. Forming a relationship, seeing reflections and similarities between myself, the tree, my buddy. Now I am connecting with more trees, the natural world around me and interacting differently.

I have been in recovery for 2 years, since the 5th May 2018.
I have been involved with Write to Freedom since September 2018.
