4th place is my life line. But goodness, I want more 3rd place in my life! I love having terms for this now. Thank you for bringing these energies into my sphere so clearly!

Always inspiring, thought churning, and a feeling of sparkles awash. MERCI Serena for dialing the lens to that which alights us.

Exactly right about the way fear brews and grows in the blind spots we maintain around seeing death (and other hard things). The scary potency of ambiguity vs the soft familiarity of looking right into the pit. Good one!

I love this. I love having names for the places we occupy - and therefore intentions. I love the menu of physical items instead of the long actual and mental lists that bog me down. Mostly, I love the permission to play as the river that runs through all of your essays. Thank you!

Aw I'm sorry to hear about Grampy - may his memory be a blessing! I will always have the fond memory of P climbing up onto his lap to give him a hug and a kiss, and him being quite surprised (but I think (hope?) he was secretly touched!)
