These are wise and profound, necessary and thought provoking words. Jeffrey. I can think of times when a big thing in my life ended - when I graduated from university and three years later seminary, or after 23 long and often anguishing years I got my UK citizenship. These were big things that ended. It took a while after the last one to reorientate and realise that now I was really here. I did it through my art practice and being intentionally on our land, with the trees in the Orchard and in the back garden, with the birds at our feeders. These words would have been of great benefit, then. But I am so glad they are out there now. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing these experiences and how my post here has encouraged you to reflect more deeply on these. Often we need our older and wiser selves when we are younger and before we have learned lessons from our experiences, and that is one of the driving forces in trying to share some of the wealth of our learnings when we are able so that, just maybe, they may be of service to others.
