They have uniquely become strange bedfellows…it has become essential, and hardly selfish, to take care of yourself first. Our cores have been shaken from the deprivation of human contact to being able to compartmentalize enough to be in the sadness and the grief while coexisting with joy and abundance… experienced through a different lens. <br /><br />Whether we or the ones we love are touched by violence or oppression, the grief must somehow coexist with living a full and connected life.<br />I am struggling Thru this metamorphic like change because it does not feel right or familiar.<br />One of the things I love about reading your blogs, Ashleigh, is that you invite us to go on this journey with you. It feels less alone and disconnected to be reflecting on your musings. The unexplainable horrors do not go away and the sadness for those unable to be in simple pleasures is palpable. However, we must not be dead to the emotions while not having it cripple our capacity to feel. <br /><br />In this chapter of my 69th year, I am finding an uneasy alliance with grief and joy. I don’t want to hide from either and yet is not an easy road. <br />Thank you for promoting the articulation of these concepts. Going thru this consciously is a challenge, yet it is my challenge during this time. However, navigating this path is so much easier when we all do it together in a loving and non judgmental manner.<br /><br />Thanks, Ashleigh!dreamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14111171493672103044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-49228441209811532662022-03-11T15:32:11.131-07:002022-03-11T15:32:11.131-07:00Does Queen T recommend any specific place to make ...Does Queen T recommend any specific place to make donations to help the people of Ukraine?Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-58010582427362478012022-03-10T17:14:21.592-07:002022-03-10T17:14:21.592-07:00:-)
