We're cooking up a thought stew A mindful casserole Compassion the sauce that our hearts impart sad tales sieved from our souls.
The base of the dish is hope seasoned with laughter and tears we stir in empathy to the mix and we plan to allay crumbs of fear
Our stew has a dollop of knowledge jugs of experience ears that are prepped to listen, Spiced with strength and resilience
But we won't prescribe your recipe forΒ Β journeys are made with choice your life's kitchen tools, your recovery rules, empowered and mixed using your voice.
This is a work in progress. I feel excited to be involved in a project to train other peer support workers in mental health, and creating the course at the moment. I hope this poem inspires the process x
