This poem is so profound. This is it. This is why I want to show up to offer this little heart of mine, no matter where I may be in the world's eyes-too this or too that--not enough this, not enough that--I just want to let this closer to the real thing version of me stand there without anything to hide, to find out what the fabric of the stars are really made of. I know that I would find you, my friend, right there up beside me in the night sky. You are so loved. You so love. That much is clear. Thank you for being right there with me, as me. xoxo

amen.

It's so essential to completely surrender yourself in faith during these moments in life, isn't that always the lesson that we learn over and over again? Things will always move forward when we trust. I love you so much my sweet, kind, full of love sister.

This is so beautiful. Our loneliness leads us to lush gardens reserved for only those with space enough to receive.

Sometimes I treat my loneliness like a crying infant, running to pacify the tears. I've been known to use chocolate, or pasta to distract myself from that achy hole called loneliness. Of course it's a delicious failure;)

I'm enjoying your beautiful book Julia. What a gift to the world.

Thank you for this post. It was so timely for me and what a lovely way to put it.

Yes, I can definitely relate to this -- in moments when I'm feeling lonely, these days, I don't always try to find someone or something to "get rid of it" -- I think it's actually more powerful, albeit more challenging, to just allow the physical feeling of loneliness and get a clearer understanding of it.

i love this....so grateful now
for the spaces
that open and leave me thirsty.
thanks for stirring my hope,
Jennifer
