[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 619372, member: 3907"] I just want to give both of you a big hug. Over the past many weeks, I have been voraciously reading your ongoing conversations about detachment, growth, loving ourselves, and all the other topics. I haven't said a lot, but I have learned so very much in the quiet listening spaces between your words. Your conversations have brought me back to a treasured place from childhood. My grandmother used to belong to a senior citizens' club, a tight-knit group of strong, wise women (and the occasional man). From tiniest girlhood, she used to take me along to all their meetings and activities. I would sit at the feet of these wise, beautiful women, listen to their stories, and learn. I learned practical things, like knitting and sewing, impractical ones like walking in (very high) heels, wearing daring clothes while still being demure, and dancing like a wild kitten while still being a lady. Most of all, I learned so much about love, and life, and human nature. Those ladies taught me the glorious gift of invisibility. To go boldly through my world, without having to emerge from my head. To occupy stillness so fully that they would have all the adult conversations as I sat there, soaking it all in and learning, learning, learning. Your conversations have brought back those feelings of peace, safety, invisibility and strength. I feel as though I'm sitting at your feet, learning to be brave, to be a lady, to tackle adversity with charm and grace. So thank you to both of you. The ripples of your journey reach far and wide. Many hugs, Trinity [/QUOTE]
