Me too, me too, Feeling everything all at once …intense, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything, because it usually ends (at least for me) in this revelatory sense of beauty. It is the whole picture that makes us rise 🌻🌻🌻
I appreciate that thought...no, that truth... that it's the whole picture that makes us rise. I feel this so strongly. And that's how I understand more deeply, that all things considered, I am one lucky girl. Thank you, Kathy. Love to you. xo
Your thoughts resonated so strongly with me this morning that I'm am utterly in shock, and can't really respond. I almost never check my email; I think I was meant to see this post and know that I'm not alone. 🙏🏼💙
You have such a way with words that others can relate to. I'm with you on the crying and the chicken. I cry in the shower so my little Emma isn't affected by it. I love you!
Dearest Kateri - Me too. For about 5 yrs now I’ve been crying easily and I have embraced it. This morning it was from the wonder I felt watching the birds in my back yard. It’s as often for awe & joy as it is for loss or sadness. I’m glad I’m able to feel more deeply now. Maybe it comes with age. In any case, once again I relate and am moved by your post. Peace
I love how the universe moved toward you and with you in the depth of the night to bring a shimmering awareness and even as you were preparing food, a tender thought. It feels like an answer to my prayers. Thank you for sharing shimmers in the midst of feeling pummeled. We hear you. Sending love.
What a beautifully expressed comment. Thank you so much, Carol. You know how much I love and need sparkles in my life... the shimmers are where it's at ✨🫶🏼
Definitely a me too. I think it’s something in us that comes forward when we age. A natural process that is more prominent in some people than others. As far as food, I’m a committed omnivore who lately eats less red meat but still … 😍 I enjoy your essays
I think age is absolutely part of it. And just more awareness of how little we really know, and how small our influence really is, and yet still profoundly important at the same time. Deeper not wider, remember my friend? We are going deeper. xo
I just finished reading your substack to Fred, and we both reply, “me too”, and we continue looking for the glimmers, and there are many. We are here, we love each other, and sometimes that’s enough. Fred will begin radiation soon for prostate cancer. Please hold him in your loving awareness. Xo
You are two of the dearest, luckiest people I "know." Lucky in each other. You are a shimmering star pair to me. Thinking of you both, and I will keep Fred in my loving awareness more than ever. 🫶🏼
I don't like seeing or cooking raw meat. I have a fear that I will undercook it and everyone will get sick
So many of us share this! And it's okay :)
Your ability for magical thinking is shining in this essay. Much appreciation for your thoughts and yes, I am listening and hearing...
Love to you and Roy xo

Dear Rita, thank you. It's good to know when we are in good company. Thank you for your comment. Big hug :)
Kateri, definitely me too! you articulate transformative feelings so well, going deeper than the words. It feels like our hearts are breaking open.
Thank you for sharing and it's good to be in community this way again after a 10 year pause.::))
Ten years... how is that possible? Well, I am immensely grateful for your presence and your support.
It makes me wonder, just how many people are full of tearful moments each day. More than we realise. We are not alone.
