Indeed we will move through, Laurie. Meanness sucks, kindness rocks. Everything else is noise. What a blessing to be alive now, in these unprecedented moments, each of us seeking to discover what is ours to do. I see you, Laurie. I see you living your original instructions with courage, commitment and intention.

Just re-read this post because I saw your ‘thank you’ Laurie :). Your writing is still beautiful, comforting & challenging. I haven’t read KG since I was in college & I forgot how mystifying his words were then, but I remember believing them, searingly…now I see/feel them through the years that have passed & the challenges to embracing love…thank you, again

Words and comments like yours keep me writing! Thank you! This morning i thought of how i (we) can be ok while existing with the unknown, uncertainty and the fear that sometimes comes ... i was reminded of these words from Thic Nhat Han "Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones. " To me, this encorages me to acknowledge my fears of what could happen, so I can realize that right now I (we ) are okay. All we know for sure is this moment❤️! Thank you again for engaging with me!
