Ah friend. Your gentle wisdom and quiet playfulness permeates these words. And though these words are (as we know) both signposts and masks, they shine like the beautiful sun they describe. A smile curves up, pushing tears in its movement, a pleasing, clarifying flow, as I read here (transmission not bounded by distance or time or electronics or marks on a page…). Thank you dear one for your courage and your love, written here and resounding like a bell, calling us home.

Dear Justyna,

Thank you for this piece and this question:

"What helps you return to the place in you where you feel unshaken, even as life swells and shifts around you?"

The answers to this question are numerous and the first one that comes to mind is... questions like this.

I love being reminded that that place exists, however it happens.

Sometimes in a song, sometimes in a joke, sometimes in a teaching, sometimes in a poem, sometimes just in the memory of one of those moments.

So, thank you for this moment, this reminder.

Love

Myq
