Beautiful Rose! It's so sweet to hear from you. You're right, it did disappear, but I re-published that piece. Can't tell you how much it means to receive your reflections on that one in particular. Warmth your way, dear!

"Our only covenant here is to be a living embodiment of God, the God that dwells in us uniquely and specifically. To let that force light us from within and be the testimony of our lives." !!!!!!!

Right!!!! The humble prophets at the post offices amongst us. A revelation and a reminder in one.

"...but there is something different about being on the other side of all the ambition and expectation of what a life could be. You've done it, one way or another."

Oh, how I long to be here. On the other side.

Thank you, Rachel.

Oof, yes, same. Attempting to find the preciousness in the present but doesn't that sound so nice?! The other side. Thank you, Roddy!
