I get this. Sometimes it all tumbles out and sometimes it sits there like stones you swallowed. Sometimes, I have to remind myself that the whole “being present in the moment” thing is a goal to reach for but not an easily attainable state. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have to remind each other of it so often.
Sorry I haven’t been around for awhile. I’ve been a little stuck in my own unpresentness. Writings been a bit of a struggle.

I am happy for you. We all go on about releases and letting go and living in the moment and sometimes it can turn into an echo of same old same old. This shows that it’s all true. It’s all honest. There is a real point to it all! I envy you that small moment of release. Thank you for sharing it with us.
(I’m living through one side of trans continental jet lag – home to my parents – next week I will live through re-entry. I know the gremlins are moving my furniture as we speak. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one it happens to!)

Oh – what a wise and eloquent post. The gift of someone letting you know that they do see – especially when the path you are walking is particularly difficult and feels especially unnoticed, is a very dear one.
You know – I think that you have to be prepared to accept that gift though, and you were. Maybe your hilly walk and the work you did on it prepared you for that exact moment.

Wow. This makes so much sense to me: “‘If I’m not 100% authentic in my openness and generosity in this situation, then I’m honoring the pain I’ve experienced and acknowledging my most wounded self.’” As does the rest. I’m printing this and keeping it so that I can read it again and again. Thank you!

This is absolutely beautiful, on many levels.
And thank you for “seeing” me today.
