“to be in the world again, showing up as all of myself”
To wit, what our dearest friend says about this exactly…
The Guest House by Jalal al Din Rumi (1207-1273)
“This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.”

What I say at this moment and many moments before and in the future is I love, I love you, at all times and for reasons I cannot explain; a sense of acceptance and familial/human being which includes all of who we are, you and I.
I expect that you are seeking and will seek to love and hold up and support, including yourself. I wish you giving this “yourself” to others at the same time as holding yourself dear and finding what you need, inside and outside…selflessly and from your heart, as always and at exactly this moment.
I love:
