Thank you, Cate. I'm glad this was a balm for you. And indeed, rest in the reflection and contemplation feels like a different invitation than "surrender." Thank you for your beautiful words here.
"A long, loving look at the real." So potent! I listened to this post, rather than read it, and your voice creates a soothing space for your words. This is beautiful, Alan!

Thank you, Gabriella. I love that you are listening to the blog. And that you keep finding more layers! Thank you for sharing that.
