Wow, thank you for this! What a gift. My parents are still alive and living independently in their mid 80s, and I have been struggling with 'anticipatory grief' as my pastor pointed out. I just came across this while re-reading The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe this morning. Aslan has just died and Lucy and Susan approach his body and take the muzzle off. "I hope no one who reads this book has been quite as miserable as Susan and Lucy were that night; but if you have been - if you've been up all night and cried till you have no more tears left in you - you will know that there comes in the end a sort of quietness. You feel as if nothing is ever going to happen again." My condolences, but I am so glad you found a way to see the interconnection. I will save this for the future and hope that I can manage with such grace.
“Earlier this year, during a profound psychedelic journey, a fundamental shift occurred within me—I awakened to the profound interconnectedness of everything. This awakening brought with it an acknowledgment of life's inherent cycles and rhythms: the rotation of celestial bodies, the natural rhythms of our planet, and the more subtle yet equally significant cycles within ourselves. This realization led me to see myself as an integral part of these cycles, deeply embedded within and connected to the world around me.”
Steve, your work continues to uplift and guide me home to my body. I am immensely grateful I stumbled upon your light. Thank you for shining so bright.
