For your stirring messages of optimism (on the one hand), and hope (on the other). As always, I do need to look at my own issues of attachment here. For all those who've followed this story, know it's one step forward, two steps back (or sometimes two forward, and one back). Maybe that's putting it better.
I was stuck this morning by what a "holy" (i.e., personal, private) thing this was that I'm working through ... Caring for another, in secret, as it were, and working to turn it over into the hands of another ... unseen ... bigger, more powerful force -- while praying for guidance on my own, and octopusprime! -- rebuilding that vision of who I am ... alone ... and what I've come here to do.
To dream dreams.
To make a bit of heaven on earth.
To do a little art.
To leave a more joyful, beautiful legacy.
Thank you both. Boyfriend called today, and I'm a little less "aswoon" than other times (is that a word?) ... but still too vulnerable. It is good, so good for me to have this place here, and I thank you Dr. Bob and others.
Much affection, Temmie
