Thank you both for this essay. I felt as though I slipped into a conversation and was leaning in to hear more. Tears came to my eyes. And I truly love the idea of not trying to save the old reality but to build anew. For now, I am hoping it is enough that I bring this hope and intention to the table being laid for the future. If nothing else, so that others who know the next steps will not feel alone.
Thank you Joan for your generous words—your presence at the table matters deeply. That quiet hope, that steady intention you bring, is no small thing. It becomes part of the invisible weave that supports others, even if we don’t yet see the full design. You are not alone, and those who carry the next steps forward will feel your companionship in the field. May we all keep laying stones for the new path together♥️🙏🕊️
Thanks for reading and commenting Mary Beth, and yes, words can be so limiting when trying to communicate these kinds of experiences. But at least we have words to point towards what we're trying to communicate🥰♥️🙏🕊️
Thanks for the invitation, Camilla!

Sacred world stories,

Our own belonging.

Homecoming stories
pay price of be-ing human.
Yes, ‘being awake hurts.’
...
By wonder ravished,
we wield words for the we-world.
Yes, feelings vanish.
Love the haikus Marisol♥️🙏🏼🕊
