Did you watch “All Us Strangers”? This film allows us to to be in both our child selves and our adults selves and it’s perfect mirrors this yearning of wanting to be held and wanting to hold
Resonating with this too. Thank you for writing this, Lisa. Especially for naming the rage. I’ve too often let myself sweep that under the carpet, my wants and needs, and it’s been so painful. Easier to honor those wants and needs, and the longing for them to be met.
I can only feel gratitude to witness you in the places and selves you find yourself in - because I think in a lot of ways, I am moving closer to the brink of it all, too. This letter was like a lighthouse, or a compass even as it is a path yet in the making. Thank you for sharing this! Thank you so much, Lisa. 🌸
Thank you Lisa. Your writing is always a balm, and this piece today named up what I’ve been grappling with recently. Your words are both beautiful and powerful.
The timing of this could not be more perfect after a plant medicine ceremony yesterday that brought me to my (very literal) knees. Taking up space, receiving care, setting down, even for a moment, the shields I cover myself with was more deeply uncomfortable than I could ever have imagined. Thank you for your words that let me know I’m not the only one having this experience. Wanting someone else older than me to swoop in and hold me up echos loud and long. And I think that longing will always exist and must be mourned, and perhaps something new can blossom alongside it. Thank you 🙏
Such a spot on post Lisa. Thank you so much for putting these reflections down and sharing them with us. Feeling many of the things you share here intimately right now.
