people have been so generous. and it breaks my heart. thank you.
the people i love and people i do not know. making this commitment to this idea. or to me. i don’t know which. sacrificing some small thing they surely deserve. need?
oh oh. i am not in control. do not give what you don’t have to give. okay?
i feel lifted and supported. carried. and i am learning to open wider to let it all in. let all of you in. i am learning where i have been closed. how i can become bigger.
this is huge life. this is wild open life. being carried and loved this big. the vulnerable and visible life. that we all belong to the people we love and there’s nothing we can do about that. it’s just the way it is.
it is damn sure some of the best living i have ever done.
Val, I am blown away by your writing. I am exhilerated, devastated, intensely interested in your journey, and honored to be able to be a part of it. Thank you.
