Afterwords by Sas Petherick

This photo and poem are part of a virtual gallery to celebrate the launch of my new novel, Afterwards.

Afterwords

There were thousands of moments

spent lost in the wilderness,

Thrashing and forging ahead

in a lonely battle of my own making.

I walked in circles,

ever-decreasing, to the middle

of an accidental labyrinth.

There I stopped and lay down my sword.

I sat in the centre of my life

and surrendered the search.

The grandmothers towered over me

whispering map co-ordinates.

Afterwards, the path led me home.

Sas Petherick writes about life on planet earth. Which means she writes about moments of clarity and bewilderment: the joy and despair of being a practicing human. Which really means she writes about LOVE. Sas is a Certified Coach, trained by Dr. Martha Beck and the Coaches Training Institute and is currently wading through a PhD in Coaching & Mentoring at Oxford Brookes.
