Why does it feel like everyone is experiencing heartache thesedays, some kind of dissolution of their old self and opening up to new possibility through the portal of pain? Your writing, as always Faye, is breathtaking. You are so gifted in being able to convey such physical yet ineffable experiences into words. I’m sending you love and soothing energy for all your little paper cuts (for whatever it’s worth) and am feeling deep gratitude for your existence.🙏🏼❤️

Your message fills me with so much joy, Nida, and I am feeling the love and soothing. Thank you ♥️♥️♥️. I feel such deep gratitude for your existence, too. It is a blessing to have found you in this wild world. It does feel like there is a big wave of heartache opening many of us into new realms lately. Maybe we are all feeling each other, helping each other open to what is new and possible, and helping each other remember even through the pain, that there is something on the other side for us.

I have a theory (however flawed) that certain people with higher sensitivity levels are experiencing (and maybe alchemizing) the pain of the collective, honing in on it like an antenna picking up signals, and then releasing it like a sponge being squeezed. Of course your image of “a big wave of heartache opening many of us into new realms” is more beautiful and less clinical.😂 Here’s to believing that there’s something on the other side for all of us.🙏🏼

Oh you’re hardly clinical, and I love the image of the antennae. This feels so true. The sensitive ones are also the pain eaters.

Excellent and elegiac. The journaling prompt is intriguing -- I don't know that I have it in me to try that right now, but I saved it. Thank you.
