Big Rose and Robert fan here. And Iā€™m so happy I got to talk to you both face to face (via Zoom) recently. šŸ„° I love (love love) your writing but I like your talking even more. And I love the way you uplift and complement/compliment each other. šŸ’›āœØ

The idea of softness as aliveness is something I am holding onto very tightly today. For me softness, is only possible when I come back to myself. When I am making an intentional choice to be with my soul and body. That is when I can listen to my body and hear myself with clarity. That is when I am most alive.
