Now again, I am on a pilgrimage of self-defining, a honing down, the fitting of my life into me. It involves self-belief, a quietening, a breathing, a listening, an immense letting go and undoing. It is frightening and haunted and therefore hugely courageous and so close in. The path is full of shadows; doubts linger at every turn; I get lost in the forest where I walk every day, and I let go of needing to know where I am or where I’m going
