In order to repair, first you must notice. Thanks for expressing this, we move on together.

thank you. And written five years ago....

This is so true and speaks to where we are now. Thank you. Hope you’re feeling better.

And I wrote it five years ago.... Better, not best. I can use my left hand again, thank heavens, as a lefty--but my low back, iffy. Resorted to drugs (1/2 dose) this morning; did far too much yesterday, including 10 staircases. NOT SMART. We'll see.

Profound - so spiritually insightful.

Thank you, Mare--I guess that's what 55 years of spiritual practice has brought me. I'm glad you found it profound--that touches me. We'll Zoom sometime, yes?

Mare's avatar

My Zoom doesn't work, but we'll find a way to talk. I see you were also up late :-)

I chose it because I wear hearing aids, and it is easier to see people talking. What is it called--Google meetup?

Mare's avatar

I signed up for Basic Zoom. See message in your chat.

Totally agree. Beautifully stated.

Thank you,

This feels painfully close to the bone, Didi. “we broke us / we must fix us” stays with me. I love how you bring us back from the enormous scale of atoms and the universe to the ordinary things we can still notice—weather, water, kindness, cooperation. ❤️
