I think Narina’s project—as it highlights not only our connection but also the importance of us thinking and writing and creating together—is especially poignant these days.
Narina, what a gorgeous connected web you have woven, drawing like-hearted souls from around the world and allowing us into their sphere. Reading these pieces made me feel warm and included, it gave me a sense of hopefulness and joy.
Holly and Charlene, thank you for sharing so beautifully.
Lovely, Narina. Charlene: those fairy lights, silent fairies ... xx and all else. Holly: Hemlock trunks, and all encounters of black tailed deer xx ... and all else as the world connects--when we seem so unconnected in the U.S. or so it seems, but the fires brought us together here in Los Angeles.And then the prayer call, Charlene ... xx
This was so rich! I love this idea, of weaving together two people in different spaces but in the same time. Thank you Holly and Charlene for this amazing collaboration!
Holly! This was so lovely. Every single scrumptious word of it. The description of the leaves, of the animals, of the slug-you didn't know! The longing and connection and the connection that brings the longing but also soothes it. Just a gorgeous piece! xo
This was so much fun, Narina. Thank you and thank you, Charlene. What a joy to hear our three voices and the noises outside your window, Narina, braided so.
To connections across the globe. To writing and thinking and creating together. ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for being part of this, Holly. I was over the moon when you and Charlene said you'd like to write for this, and I absolutely love how your two pieces work together. Thank you!
Holly and Charlene and Narina, what an absolute bliss to find such beautiful calm all in one place and from such gorgeous souls. This was a delight to listen to, from hemlock to early frogs and wilting tulips in grandmas vase, how inviting you make these simple things sound - I loved this so much! Thank you for distant collaborations.. 🌍
Really enjoyed being part of this series, Narina! Thanks so much for including me. I loved reading your piece next to mine, Holly - so descriptive and interesting. And thank you to everyone in the comments who has enjoyed reading, I'm delighted you liked this little window into our far-apart worlds. 🖤
Beautiful writing! Thanks Charlene, Holly, Narina for taking us into these special worlds!
Aren't the essays so beautiful? Thank you for also being a part of this series, Jan ❤️

Thank you Donna! I'm thinking of evolving 5 o'Clock Somewhere for the next series. Please drop me a line if you'd like to be part of it <3
Thank you for that invitation Narina. I will dm you.
Thank you, Donna!
I agree. Hope and joy are woven into this project. And we so need both—and to look at and raise up both.
♥️♥️♥️
Absolutely!
This is absolutely wonderful. Thank you.
Thank you, Sue! It was a delight to take part in. And I appreciate you partaking. ♥️

Thank you for listening, Mary - and I'm so glad you did... a deeper experience than reading the words, for me anyway.
Yes. I agree. The prayer call at the end was such a wonderful touch.
And I love how Narina’s intro and outro bring a third place into the connection.
Thank you, my friend, for listening and commenting. ♥️

Me too! It was such a treat.
What a fascinating idea! Love this!

Thinking of Charlene writing “with” me was quite magical.
It was cool!
