Wow Stephanie, I was floored by not only your incredible writing but your clarity of thought, your generosity, and fearless honestly. This is an essay to be read over and over. You have managed to turn terror and crisis into profound love and the fullest experience of life. This essay is a touchstone. You are the full power of the sea.
Dear Stephanie, I am sorry and sad to hear the news and to imagine you experiencing such a turmoil. In parallel, I am touched by your reflections in this post. You articulate our humanity - in beautiful ways - and it has me reflect on mine. My life has been driven by fear and how to avoid feeling it by contributing to improving my environment. I have been as well trying to transform this fear driven life into a hesrt-open way of engaging in the world. I feel sorry for myself (I exposed and keep exposing my body to fear) and for many of us who live in fear (with thoughts for those who live in intense fear) and the compassion renews my desire and determination to engage with the heart and help us do so as a community and society. Thank you. Once again you spread consciousness, love and courage. Which happen to be my three core values.
My sweet and beautiful friend, I am so heartbroken with this news. Yet, so in awe of your ability to put all of the tumultuous, complicated thoughts & feelings into words. Please know that you are always close in my heart, thoughts, and most fervent prayers. Sending so much love and peace to you, dear one. Big hugs.
