Path

Path Synopsis

What if the land had a voice? Would it be kind to us? In this beautifully prosaic tale we feel the full strength and support of the earth under our feet as we take a very different walk along a familiar path.

As the walk progresses, the earth speaks about nourishment, community and belonging. A gradual certainty emerges - we being to know ourselves. Moving one step at a time, we understand that we are making the world as well as being in it.

We close the gap between where we are now - and where we could be. As the journey progresses, the path leads to clarity and conviction. Peace and restoration.

And it connects us with our essential wildness, with the source of vitality and inspiration that is easily dried up by our sedentary lives. Louisa Thomsen Brits is one of the most soulful and poetic voices to emerge in recent times. Inspired by the art of Richard Long and our natural world, Louisa's writing is by turns original and timeless; calming and restorative.
