I have just discovered your work via Insight timer. I am slowly coming out of a long time of being shattered, having lost trust in myself, feeling uncomfortably dependent, seeking to heal and to live on a much deeper level spiritually. I am so moved by your creative work and find meaning there. It's as though you have made a path on your own journey that helps me find some part of the way through. Thank you for sharing your journey.

Patricia, I feel really honoured that you shared this and it means a lot to know that my work is helping you to find your way. I think, in truth, it helps just to know that while we might feel lonely as we navigate such a path, we are always in a common experience. Others have gone ahead, lighting the way. It's been true for me and I'm so grateful to know that I'm helping to light lamps for you and others too. It adds fresh meaning to my own journey. Thank you.

Miranda, this is such a beautiful piece and I relate to so much of what you've written. I'm finding myself in the same kind of in-between place of that unknowing and stagnancy, and then coming back to remembrance and rising up to the surface again. I'm excited to see how your online silence gatherings will unfold and thanks as always for sharing <3

here I am trying to find beautiful words to honor yours in your post and I can't find them... I can only say that you are a very precious gift of life, that your light shines very bright, that your essay is clearly made of love, courage and gratitude for being human. Showing vulnerability needs a big open heart like yours.

I am uninspired and tired after a long hard day but I just wanted to show my gratitude after having found your post.

Keep being wonderfully you

So many soaring moments in this piece Miranda. "Carving out space together and sinking into the waiting silent field, the foundational groundless heartbeat of everything. " "The little pollinators humming their life-song to the white oregano flowers beside me, lifting their clear voices in return.

All of us singing." 😭❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing.
