"If only they’d been outright. There’s nothing wrong with you… you just like to tell stories. So… tell stories. But then I wouldn’t have paid them all those thousands of dollars, so I understand. Honesty wasn’t in their business plan. I forgive them"

Weston was right. There is a lot here to feel, Faye. I can't say I have ever read anything quite like it. "Unbridled" isn't free enough to be an accurate description... But then, who needs a description. The writing stands on its own as exactly what it is.

What does it take for us to finally accept the permission (that was always there) to be exactly what we are?

And while we are on the subject of Gabriel... How about "The book of love?"

Wow Jed, thank you... this is the best feedback I could wish to receive. That is the perennial question, isn't it? With every new layer, can we continue to give ourselves permission to be?

As for Gabriel, oh yes, I love love love "the book of love," as well as "mirrorball" and "heroes" from that album.

Really fascinating Faye. Really has a subliminal feel, like something out of a dream. Like Jed said, never read anything like it.

thank you Wes. subliminal is a great word for how it happened - the thing about the green beans started talking as i was getting ready to go to sleep and it was absolutely insistent that i write it down. had no clue where it was taking me till i got there, which i could say about most everything i write, but this one felt like, okay… just sit back and listen and don’t you dare try to make sense of it or else it won’t happen at all.

That is good to hear, to learn to get out of the way and let it roll. I just wrote something about the "undertaker's check", just bonkers but what are you going to do? It's glorious.

Cheers to the glorious madness. We'll do the only thing we can do and keep listening. And yes, getting out of the way. Gosh it's fun to fight every once in a while, but it does get tiring I keep telling Chip/Luke/whatever you wanna call him (he doesn't mind), to watch out cause i'm only going to get crazier. So far I don't think he's too scared.

Well damn!!

I have this urge to a be a million women. I have this urge to be singular. To be small and expansive. Light and heavy. Unforgettable and nothing. I’m learning how much of a joy it is to want to be the contradictions. To see how much one soul is capable of holding 🤍
