This might just be my favourite. My eyes are welling up — you are such a beautiful writer and observer of life. I completely resonate with your aversion to the three-letter G-word and have gone on a similar journey to seeing the nuances in the concept thanks to Nick Cave's writing. Saving this one for a re-read!
