Those with eyes to see, ears to hear, hearts to feel soak up your words and alchemize them; that was my experience and my reflection on it. For me it became “my story” as I saw parallels in myself veiled in nuanced form as you described the depth of your elation and disappointment, the internal wrestling mirrored in the two relationships, both in markedly different cultural contexts but both compelling the making of choices that are so universally descriptive of the polarities seeking unity and completeness in each other...a primal story skillfully and artfully expressed so creatively in a helical form, each strand weaving in and out of the other, seemingly separate but always entwined...I really enjoyed reading it and wish you well as its evolution unfolds...thank you for having the courage to persist and give it birth...it is very inspiring (((•)))

Thank you, Kalima. Your words are nourishing and I appreciate your reading! Helical form is a beautiful description. XO
Schuyler, this book came out today and I thought of you. Perhaps you are already aware of Sophie Strand and her work, also on Substack.
