Read selected excerpts from More Than Words, Astrid Morwen’s intimate poetry collection about love expressed through quiet gestures, memories held by familiar objects, words left unsaid, and the slow work of healing.

More Than Words began with a simple thought: perhaps the ordinary has been speaking to us all along. Astrid Morwen shares how small gestures, familiar objects and the silences between people became a collection about love, loss and repair.

Nature's Whispers was not written from a distance. It was written by someone who was taught from childhood to slow down, step outside, and look closely at the living world by people who knew how to see it.

Nature's Whispers is a collection of hygge nature poems about the art of noticing. Dew on clover. A sleeping bee inside a foxglove. Rowan berries bright after rain. A leaf turning once through green air before it falls. These are the moments we walk past every day — small, quiet, unhurried — and yet they are the ones that bring us closest to the living world. Written in Astrid Morwen's calm, patient voice, these poems stay close to nature and the human heart.

Missing someone does not always happen all at once. Sometimes it comes in waves - through a song, a place, a memory, or an ordinary moment that suddenly feels full of absence.

Childhood memories stay with us because they are often connected to our first feelings of love, safety, wonder, fear, and belonging. This article reflects on the moments that return years later: a voice, a story, a walk, a room, a hand in yours. Some memories comfort us, while others ask for gentleness. Together, they remind us where we began and how the child we once were still lives quietly within us.

This one is for you, if you have ever looked back and realised that the small moments were not that small at all. Not while they were happening. Not after.

Healing can feel confusing when old pain returns after you thought you were doing better. This article gently explains why difficult days do not mean you are back at the beginning. Healing is often uneven, quiet, and layered. Sometimes the same ache returns because another part of you is ready to be cared for. You are not failing because healing takes time. You are still moving, even when it feels slow.

This letter is for anyone still healing in quiet, imperfect ways. It reminds readers that healing does not always look graceful, fast, or obvious from the outside. Some days it is simply getting through, choosing rest, setting a boundary, or allowing yourself to feel without shame. You do not have to be fully healed to be worthy of peace. You are allowed to take your time becoming whole again.

Missing someone is not always loud. Sometimes it lives quietly in ordinary moments: a song, a room, a place, a memory, a silence where their voice used to be. This article reflects on the gentle ache of carrying someone who is no longer close, and the way love can remain even after life has changed. It is for anyone learning to live with absence while still honouring what once mattered deeply.
