This essay is compelling because it smoothly transitions from the philosophical question of the phone call to the tangible, physical experience of the body. Its progression—from heart-energy congestion to awakening with an old wound, and finally to painting 'turbulence in the water'—illustrates what authentic, intentional creativity entails. It’s not just about aesthetic refinement; it’s about providing an ancient, unspoken emotion with a physical form where it can be transformed.
Yes, well said. And thank you for responding in such a thoughtful way. The intricacies of life and our capacity to navigate it all is so fascinating to me. And we choose, consciously or not, how deeply, clearly and honestly we want to go.
Thank you, Suzanne. ❤️ I really appreciate that. I think the willingness to look deeply is an act of courage in itself. Your essay reminded me that creativity isn't always about finding answers—it can also be about creating enough space for truth to quietly emerge.
Thank you, Suzanne. That means a lot coming from you. Your essay created that kind of space beautifully—the kind where truth doesn’t have to be forced, explained, or hurried. It can simply rise to the surface when the heart is ready to see it.
Hi Kathleen! Thank you for appreciating it and responding. Isn’t this journey called life so fascinating? I love it (most of the time 😁) and the other times I do my best to keep my curiosity and humor close by. Hope you’re enjoying this fast moving summer. Hugs.

creating enough space for truth to quietly emerge - that is beautifully stated.
