Hello starshine and dust
Infinite cosmos and energy
How are you this morning?
Dazzling and blinding
And alive and here
And that is all to say
I am infinite this morning
Glittering and empty
Full, and wholly alone
That is to say
Combustible
My breath
births universes
My eyelashes
the rays of the sun
My skin
Is a planets rings
My words
Moons and stars
Every step I take
Births life
Wild brambles, honeysuckle
And lavender grow
With the brush of my fingertips
Pools and ocean
Surge beneath my skin
And at the very core of me
A pulsing centre
Of molten iron
I am alive and destructive
Simple and defiant
And every time I blink
Stars and planets die
And are reborn
The cycle
Begins again
What am I?
A human?
The universe?

In this story, Linda goes back to December 2023 where school children from Edith Neville and Rewilding Children’s Imaginations funders , Pia Jones and Sarah Pimenta, took a deep dive into London lost rivers. A story about how a project from the past can still inform programmes in our new Story Garden.
