Thank you Rachel, for first doing this work with your own young one, so that you could hold firm in your beliefs in others enough, in love enough, to stay in the fire and not run, and tell the tale. So much I’m also dancing with in this post, I’m also reading About Love by Bell Hooks at present. ❤️ I loved your challenge of it.

I am so moved by this Rachel. It is an ongoing dilemma for me, and your words give me such a sense of clarity and realisation and recognition. I will be tapping back into your thoughts again later today.

Thank you for sharing this. I feel very held what you shared, held by your experience, held by similarities to my own.

How can they not co-exist where little children run and play (inside us all). If we are born of love, and love cannot die, then it must remain. And I believe love cannot die.

I also choose this way of believing. For without it, I would have been absent of love many a regretful time as I fumble(d) my way through this existence.

Thank you for the questions. How to love without violence . I appreciate you holding these opposing thoughts together and giving me permission to as well.
