Thank you once again for your heartful share. It has helped so much with supporting my neighbour after her stroke. My husband suggested calling on Sunday, but I have been watching the steady stream of family members visiting over the last 2 weeks, and we had a chance call this morning and update. Happy to report that she is doing much better, still a little wobbly and tired, but more sensation and use coming back on the right side. I see so much in what you have written about my own boundaries with a chronic condition, which are often tested and crossed by my mother, who selflessly holds none, but the need to lovingly hold them, and to extend that reverence to others. I shall remember to inquire when it is a good time to talk to my neighbour, and propose a visit at a time that would also energetically suit her (then build it into my own pacing routine) and when she might be in need of some company, being more restricted in activities. Your outside space is divine by the way, so thoughtfully constructed, a true healing oasis. Love Hannah ❤
The brain changes when such things happen. I fought against my new life too hard before accepting it. I'm so glad you are able to move through it with more fluidly. I love your image of a dolphin pod. I will be remembering this for me too.
I love your healing tent outside. Isn't outside such a wonderful place to heal?
Your journey has stirred up so many pieces of my own and there are so many thoughts and wisdoms that could be imparted. But I also know you are still swimming in the beautiful darkness.
In reading about your experience, and stirring up my own soup, I have received permission to enjoy this part of my process... swimming in the dark with my dolphin pod too. Permission to just be, in the silence, in the stillness, in the sunshine, in the rain and listening to the birds, squirrels and cars humming in the background under the moon in all her phases... which are our phases too.
Oh! I hope this makes sense... my words are elusive and swimming on their own this morning. ❤️
You are finding your path and it is beautiful to see. 🐬
Hello, it’s Gracie, your daughter’s old roommate. Perhaps this is a hello to you and Katie. I’m sending you so much warmth and love and healing. Thank you for meeting with me, your words and essence and drawing you did are clear as day to me although I can’t even remember what year we spoke. I wish you the stillness and rest you deserve for your beautiful mind and body to recover and heal. Love to you.
Hello, lovely you. I'm so touched by your message. I, too, remember our conversation - and other times we spoke at the apartment. Your beautiful light, a heart glowing with kindness and courage. You're a force of love in this world, Gracie. I am honored to know you. And I thank you for you wish for my healing. All of the blessings. xxoo
Amy, dear, just catching up on all this. Wishing you well on your healing journey. Rest, relax, repeat. You and your brain will forge a new pathway. I hope you will look back on this experience and call it your stroke of genius. Much love, Taryn ❤️
Hello, friend. I love you. This experience has certainly laid in new pathway. I can see my little train making new turns already. So far, the true genius I'm encountering is my own body - what wisdom it has. When the post is ready, I will share what I can manage to hold on to. I am tihinking, just now, of "Longing for Darkness", the book that you gave to me years ago, after one of our drives to an Eileen Fisher Sample Sale. It was my first encounter with the concept of the Dark Feminine, the Black Madonna. Whenever I think of Her, I find myself thinking of you. Another pathway shifter in my life. Thank you for your note and presence in and out of my life.
I know you, Bill. We go way back - and I know that sometimes it can be hard to read the tone and mood of a situation or person, especially in writing. So, I want to honor your concern for me. I know that you care. What happened in the past is over. Thank you for your hopeful comment. :)

Swimming right beside you, with enough room between. 🩵
Feel me there also with you. Deep deep deep.
