This piece is a gift I adore best than any gift I ever received. I'm weeping with it. I'm going to keep it close to my heart. The wisdom delivered from the depth of inundated suffering, the lifting of veil from the face darkness, the boundless overflowing empathy, and the constant company of prayers received, I'm deeply grateful for what you chose to give so freely. There is so much more, you have given me, that I cannot put my finger on but I embrace all of it, with all my heart.

If words were meant to do anything, it was meant to do what you did with it. It is meant to help, love, and show, all who need it. I'm eternally grateful for your presence. May my warmth for you be expressed in all elements of nature that touches you today in your beautiful home. May the water carry my tears to you, and the wind whispers my prayers, may the earth that you sit on be my loving embrace, may the trees gives you the protection of all my gurus and may the food you eat be their blessings. May divine grace be your constant medicine. ๐Ÿ’œ

Thank you for having the courage to write this and share it with the world. I unexpectedly lost a friend last year and it plunged me into the depths of grief for the first time. I realised that the depth of my grief is a reflection of the depth of my love. The deeper I grieve, the deeper I honour the love that is in my heart. I also noticed how grief expanded my ability to feel more deeply as a human. In a way it is a gift. Shortly after I wrote a piece and a workshop called โ€œThe Gift of Griefโ€. Allow yourself to feel the full chaos of emotions as you move through this โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

I think this is one of your best pieces yet. Youโ€™ve bottled the feeling of despair with words in a way that I think people whoโ€”luckilyโ€”havenโ€™t experienced it, can also get a glimpse of it.

Again, thanks for sharing your soul. โค๏ธ
