I say a glimpse because my experiences over the last seven years are many, so this is the briefest of glimpses and I am sure I will write about many more…
Appreciate you sharing your experience! What a lovely gift. I believe we only receive when we reach a point on our journey where we’re actually “ready” for it, to be able to see and hear and appreciate what it comes with.
Ah, Hafez has said that beautifully. All that we ask of the world is in us to be seen. Writing poetry was, of course, another gift I received, arriving shortly after this experience. I have found it's a beautiful way to express and share everything you have seen as being something to be seen. Encouraging others to slow down, explore and perhaps find the same peace. Thank you so much for reading, it's so appreciated.
Mary arrived at the right time for both of us. Which is of course, is as it should be. I of course, after so much negativity surrounding my experiences was delighted to find someone who was able to listen and point me towards some deeper questions for ‘what now’ while I for her, provided many answers to questions about how this may look in life beyond the often smaller perception of incense and yoga mats. Letting go of those relationships does take time doesn't it. It isn't easy, but hugely beneficial to our well-being. The stress we carry from our involvement in those relationships can impact our lives in so many ways.

So happy for you. ❤️✨
P.S. Here’s a few lines from the great poet, Hafez, translated by Dick Davis (https://archive.blogs.harvard.edu/sulaymanibnqiddees/2012/08/15/hafez-for-years-my-heart-asked-of-me-ghazal-143/):
“For years my heart inquired of me
…
And what was in its own possession
It asked from strangers, constantly
Begging the pearl that’s slipped its shell
From lost souls wandering by the sea
…”
Agreed, most people wouldn’t understand and think you’re out of your mind. I certainly don’t think that way. Appreciate your share. 🙏🏻

Wow. Powerful Trudi...
Thanks as always for sharing
Thank you. It was one of those what am I going to write about today moments which led to a let’s write about a big moment. Always fun 🙂
I wonder if our best writing comes in the those moments, where we wonder what will come to be written....
Can be done while journaling freely too.
Oh, I think it absolutely can. When we aren't focused on anything at all. My favourite poems have arrived in a moment like that.
