Sadhbh, Thank You. I always leave here learning. Taken to doors. Given a new lens. A deeper breath. A portal. Cycles. “The experience is not the lesson. The spiritual lessons are what you take from the experience.” Discomfort signals growth is on the way. Circles. Safety. Interconnectedness. Wholeness. Circulating into a cycle. Spiralling. I love the way you lead us into a different way of seeing that is always topped off by a poem that strips us naked and wanting more. Beautiful post. So much here. Thank you for being here. ❤️💫🙏
Thank you Jamie for your kind words and for reading my lines. I think in our society we have learned to perceive comfort as safety. Makes me ask even deeper. What is comfort? I love to be cosy, but is that the same as being comfortable? I can't help but notice that the word comfort includes the word fort. Which fortresses are we building around our heart by staying "safe"? Is safety an illusion or a necessity for survival? Living the questions ...
I admit, I had to look up the meaning of "worthen", but oh, Philip what a gift you brought me! Such a beautiful word to say "becoming" - and you have no idea how serendipitous this wordplay enriches my current journey ... spot on! Thank you!
