“There is nowhere to go where this interrelation, this mind-body-life continuum does not exist.” I found this line to bring on some big feelings. The vastness! And the idea that it is all you, if you did “get rid of” that part then wherever you sent it is still you, so love it tenderly and it will love you back. Beautiful piece, sister!

“When was the last time you felt bright birds soaring through the sky of your heart?“ What an absolutely beautiful & affirming piece, Emma. So much wisdom in here, articulated so wonderfully.

I so appreciate you joining me in these thoughts Trivarna. I enjoy your reflection that the piece is affirming - that is a heart-wish of mine with what I share here. That line stood out to me too, as the piece came together.

Wonderful essay Emma. Interesting coincidence re: "Ta tvam asi :: I am That too." One of my favourite books from the last year was "I Am That" by Nisargadatta Maharaj. Interesting times.
