No matter what, if Seeing Upside Down, Right Side Up, Backwards, Forward, or Sideways the ever centered Center changelessly Sees with clarity form Its' seat of inherent power.
No matter what, you have taken us from Mystery to Mastery, from your Center.
Duke, thank you, your comment is so beautifully written as well. I am a bit delayed getting to these replies this week. I am grateful for this boomerang back to the power of the Center. Thank you.
What a read. Extremities. Extreme. Interesting. I really really enjoyed this part:
"Before my lights went out completely, I had one last, good thought: Cease fighting and cease running away. This thought turned the pilot light back on in my center. The little flame slowly began to grow as it stayed in one place. By staying in one place, it could meet the rest of the world where it was."
Thank you so much, Matt. I'm sure you have experienced this- writing a piece and, after finishing it up, feeling like: "woah, what just happened?" or "where did that come from?" haha I suppose the blur of the flow happened with this one because I read what you quoted back, and it was like I was enjoying it for the first time too. I needed this quote tonight, thank you for sharing what moved you.
So excited for this revelation for you! I love that it was so simple an exchange that I did not even realize it happened. No need for show or outward approval. Just love between two friends. I love you. ❤️
Yeeeeees to all those rings ✨✨✨ I also looooooove this: “it has been listening and watching all along” and that one last, clear thought. That is a great thought 🫶🏽
Do you have any stones or crystals, Kara? Whether in ring form or otherwise? My interest in all the different types has developed relatively recently. Add it to my ongoing studies of energy. Yes, that last thought-I still come back to it when I get a little cray cray.
Yes! I have been a crystal-head over the years lol and/but since becoming a parent my relationship to them has changed (I think because I find parenting - while destabilizing for sure - so inherently grounding, and my stones used to be primarily for grounding this very active mind/spirit). And/but I have recently been realizing how much they help me (and guide me) and I’ve been slowly reintegrating them into my days.Are you finding them useful/of comfort these days? They are up there for me, in terms of aids for my mental and spiritual health for sure. I could honestly take a fuller look at how they aid my body, too.
Yes, Kara, all really beautiful realizations. I do find them useful and and comforting. I notice how they help ground me in a moment and bring awareness of a feeling I'm experiencing, which may have otherwise gone unnoticed.
Since this exchange I’ve found my big heap of stones - stored in a gallon ziplock bag (!!) I definitely thought of you and they are still there, nestled among my paints in a basket I treasure…perhaps I’ll cleanse them this summer and dive in again.
Dear Jeannie Lynn,
No matter what, if Seeing Upside Down, Right Side Up, Backwards, Forward, or Sideways the ever centered Center changelessly Sees with clarity form Its' seat of inherent power.
No matter what, you have taken us from Mystery to Mastery, from your Center.
Masterfully and Artfully done!
Thank you from my Center.
Welcome home,
Duke

Exactly, Lana! A simple exchange. Simplicity. Not overthinking or overcomplicating. <3 Following love. I love you!
