Humming the Bare Necessities

Today I received a photo from a friend on whatsapp. She’d taken it at a recent Oliver Jeffers talk in the Science Gallery - one of my favourite authors/illustrators. I saw him speak as part of the Dublin Literature Festival a few years back and he blew me away. I’ve bought his books for many of my friends and family. There’s a simple beauty to his narrative and illustration that I find inspiring and touching. 

Anyway, the photo was of a quote attributed to Oliver’s Mum and it resonates strongly today, a tired Monday alone after a busy weekend surrounded...

“Someone lives for as long as you remember the smile on their face, hum their favourite songs, and tell their favourite stories” 

What a beautiful thought...
