Just saying thank you again - the moon this week, the sun lower, the cooler temps where I live…it’s all beckoning change and let go-

Will see what that all means in its good time - I appreciate the reminder for the stillness too- waiting can be so hard, and yet, so necessary. My new eggs and late summer flowers proving that all things come in their time. Thanks so much!

Nature is always a potent reminder of what is easily forgotten -- thank you <3

Liminality,

when we see “now,” “then” are one.

So are “here” and “there.”

...

Liminal moments,

when time mirage dissolves, fades.

Sacred, all instants.

...

Liminal spaces,

where maya’s veil, thinner, lifts.

Holy, all places.

The precipice. Wings I cannot yet see, but know are there. Faith.

Yes I identify. This summer has stretched me. Tightened some strings and loosened others. Tight strings forced to reveal their true nature, a benefit to the wild ride.

Control exposed as the Big Myth, this summer.

The present is the real playground… the place things actually happen, where dreams open, and changes materialize.

Thank you for your depth, your immediacy and presence, Lisa!

As someone who has been in the liminal space for a while now, I so appreciate your vulnerability here. I feel less alone reading this. Thank you. 🩷

Grateful it reached you and always glad to remember there are so many of us moving through the liminal at all times -- thank you <3

Somehow (as I so often think) your newsletter speaks so directly to the space I am in. Thank you Lisa, for helping to reframe the unknown, and creating a space that reminds me I am not alone in it ❤️‍🔥

Oh, this lands and resonates with this reader. I loved this line, especially: "Know there is wisdom in discerning between necessary slowness and avoidance." Also, the allusion to the stunning Dickinson lantern metaphor. Thanks for writing this. ❤️

Thank you Lisa. I have stopped seeking easy, embracing all of it instead. So no, it is not easy and I don’t expect it to ever be, but I find ease in knowing that my experience of everything I am experiencing is full. There is joy here. Love to you. xo

Lisa Olivera's avatar

Joy in the fullness, yes <3
