I am literally printing this out & taping it to the wall in my art studio. Thank you. Thank you.

"Wherever you may find yourself this season, just past the longest day of the year, in this portal of the full moon, facing the stickiness and heat of summer aheadโ€ฆ know everything will change yet again. Know every season is impermanent. Know there might be room for openings in places you donโ€™t expect. Know Fall is coming soon, and then Winter, and then Spring, and then Summer again. Know there is no sense in clinging to or pushing against any of it โ€” it will slip away regardless. Know it makes sense to feel confused when you think youโ€™re supposed to feel differently. Know your human, animal self lives outside the confines of someone elseโ€™s expectations. Know you can meet your heart again and again, right where it is, and say, โ€œIโ€™m here. Iโ€™ve got you.โ€ Know all of this is just practice, nothing to perfect, nothing to get right, nothing to win or beat someone at or prove or achieve. Know you can practice again after forgetting. Know itโ€™s okay to not always know."

I'm so glad you released this into the world when you felt the time was right, instead of waiting until Sunday. I always look forward to your words, and I'm glad they came to me just when I feel like I needed them.

I burst out crying reading all of this. Thank you for all of your writing. I am going to the beach this afternoon to be in the sun. Blessings to you, and that bit about your husband texting, and self forgiveness, so sweet, so grateful.

I just returned from the beach and laughed because it was fogged out -- the northern California coast always surprises. Thank you for sharing ๐Ÿ’›

I have felt the need to cry, to grieve, for seven days straight. And it just hasn't come out, until now. This was everything I needed and more. I can't quite express just how much this whole piece resonated with me. Thank you.
