What a beautiful post Jane. ...thank you. Your words have me thinking about my broken country and the keen awareness that we will never be able to return to what was. Will we, collectively, have the courage to build something anew? To construct a future promise from the ashes of what was? Your words remind me that as always, I need to look to the natural world around me and trust that what is no longer valid and useful will, by necessity die and fall away so that which is new or next can emerge. It is not for me to know what is good and what is bad...only to give my heart in service to what is and to stay awake so that I'm prepared to tend that which is emergent. Much love dear one.
Thank you so much for sharing too dearest Karen. From my own experience I believe it will take a long time… our collective trauma is real and ongoing. And that doesn’t mean we can’t have faith that one day it will be better. If we can’t yet take action, and can start from this place. All my love for you. I miss you xx
Thank you dearly lovely friend. I think we are all beginning again in our own ways. It’s takes so much courage to try even when you have no idea if you will succeed. But what else can we do? Love for you special Heather xxx
Gorgeous piece in every way. From the sweet photo to the vulnerable narrative arch to the philosophical depth of the conclusion. I re-read it several times, shared it, and will save it for future savoring. Your voice is ever-lovely.
Thank you so dearly my lovely friend. I do miss you. I hope we can talk soon after my big trip to climb Kilamangero. Just dropped Mum home and starting my way back to Colorado now. So much love for you xx
As always, Jane, your writing is beautiful and profound. Thank you for sharing so deeply from your heart about your difficult experiences and the wisdom that you have gained as a result.
Your essay was exactly what I needed this morning, a nudge to give love a second chance with a good man who is trying to rebuild our connection after a winter stress that put things on hold.
Thank you so dearly for writing my dearest friend and I do hope love will find you both at the right time… it’s definitely worth the chance to try again. Miss you dearest Maggie xxxx
