"To honor the complexity of pain and not demand it be purposeful yet...For there is something bigger than us happening in us. Always." I'm going to just let that hold me for now. It's enough.

Thank you for this beautiful offering. It will sit in my inbox for quite a while longer. ❤️

just beautiful, Jesie ~ this theme feels so pervasive these days -- to allow space to feel, to give room for pain to exist without, as you say, needing it to be productive *yet.* Out of the head, into the heart, the wisdom of our bodies... thank you for sharing your experiences with this. 💖
