I continue to be astounded by the synchronicity of our experiences! Out of nowhere this week, I was able to walk half a mile down into my favorite woods at the end of our street! Hadn’t been there in over a year. My dog was shook, as was I. Came home and sobbed for the rest of the afternoon. Wept in a way that I haven’t this entire time. Cathartic.
The next day I was able to take a quick dip in the chilly ocean (after a neurology appt put me nearby) and that night went to see live music in the park. I wept at the beach. I wept in the park.
This after being mostly housebound for the past couple of months after vaccine, despairing that it might be forever. I have come down from those peeks since, but how lovely to be reminded that indeed, nothing is forever. The vitality is still there, joy is still possible.
Wow, it is astounding how parallel our journeys are! I understand this so well - this joy and grief that are so inextricably woven together. I'm so glad that you could have these beautiful, alive experiences, and I wish you many more!
