II don't know your story, but I resonate deeply with what you've written here. When we come through something so big that it transcends our human ability to master it, when we have to give in, surrender and trust... that is when we touch life at the quick. Everything becomes immediate, pulsing, right here. We open to the world in a new way when we are outside the bustle and distraction of contemporary living. Even though I now am back in that world, working, surrounded and called on by my people who need me, I try to keep one part of myself always awake and aware of that numinous world. I try to stay in a place of surrender. Your words are beautiful. Thank you for sharing them.
Thank you Sarah, this is the heart of it. You put it beautifully. I just read this by Richard Rohr and it reminded me of your words - "When we live inside the Really Real, we live in a 'threshold' space between this world and the next. We learn how to live between heaven and earth, one foot in both, holding them precious together."

I would love to hear more of this, dear Miranda. Please tell us more.
Thank you again, dear Elena - with gratitude and joy.
This is my favourite thing you’ve ever written, so full of truth and vulnerability and real bravery ❤️
This means a lot to me. Especially coming from you, whose perspective I value so deeply and with whom I have shared so much.
