One of my favourite books of all time is The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse. Unfortunately, I first experienced it as a movie (a beautiful one, by the way), but I think experiencing the book first would have allowed me to savour its quiet, heartfelt wisdom even more. The story, or rather the journey, is a tapestry of simple yet profound reflections on life, love, friendship, and hope. Still, its profound simplicity resonated deeply with me as a single career mum navigating the often chaotic terrain of life.
