Dear Ones,

I am being shown deeper and deeper love by witnessing my mother in a lot of pain. She just had back surgery and is on the (seemingly long road) to recovery. Even "minimally invasive" surgeries are REAL.

My heart is being tenderized...
My soul is being opened to more love...
I recognize that every day I am healthy is a blessed one...
Gratitude for this sacred moment with my sweet mother, Roz.

This writing from Mark Nepo spoke to me. Hope it touches you.

Where Is God?

It’s as if what is unbreakable -
the very pulse of life - waits for
everything else to be torn away,
and then in the bareness that
only silence and suffering and
great love can expose, it dares
to speak through us and to us.

It seems to say, if you want to last,
hold on to nothing. If you want
to know love, let in everything.
If you want to feel the presence
of everything, stop counting the
things that break along the way.
