[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 673196, member: 17461"] We don't really have collective wisdom, Leafy. Hearts in our throats, we all are flying by the seats of our pants. Crying. (I wrote that to describe us somewhere else but I like it so much I am putting it in here now, for you and for me and for all of us. Not a review, Leafy. More like a celebration, as each of us comes real as you are doing [I]by your own choice[/I].[I] No one can take that from you ever again, Leafy. [/I]If it has not happened yet, soon now you will find yourself breathing a little deeper, a little easier. :O) I am very happy for you. The path will get steeper, now. But we will all be here and somehow, we will pull one another through. *** This is where and how it begins. With that first sharing of vulnerability, we learn to cherish that part of us that we risked being real (instead of role) to expose. It is hard work, and requires trust and commitment and hope and belief. We are meant to be whole, Leafy. That is what we all are doing here, working away as hard as we know. There is nothing you need to do and really, there is nothing any of us can do but believe we are meant to heal, and to stay open to it. It is always good to be healed in our thinking and Brene does that for me. I tend to rewind into self destructive thinking. I celebrate with you that you found value there, too. Each of us will hear something different, and all of us shares what she knows and together, we are all coming through healthy and whole. And Maya and Anne Lamott and Charles Williams and Eckhart Tolle and there is one other one too that I cannot think of right now. Patricia Evans, maybe. The Dune Series by Frank Herbert and The Jesus Incident by Frank Herbert. Here is imagery that comforts me. I am at the beginning of an ancient, savagely dark forest. Before I know it, my feet have taken me too far in to turn back and I don't know where I am and I am very afraid. In the distance, I see the faintest glimmer of light in this dark and moonless place. I move toward it. That light is all of us, Leafy. Holding the light, for you. Cedar [/QUOTE]
