Hey Susan,
I honestly don't know how to respond, so I thought I'd share a couple of things that have been resonating quite strongly for me lately.
The poet Rainer Maria Rilke begs us:
'To be patient toward all that is unsloved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live with them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually,without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answers.'
And Jiddu Krishnamurti said:
'In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.' and
'You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.'
(((((Susan)))))
Someone asked me the other day if I could ever imagine myself as 'x' and I said not without dying and being reborn. And she said: "and this is what you are experiencing now - labour pains of a kind, the pain of being reborn into your life."
Hold onto hope my friend, there are others on the road beside you.
