1. the imagery of this post was such rich just from the title that I didn't have anything to say until today. whew. a nugget popped out of me with this line: "My surgery brought us together to discover there is still so much to learn about each other after 20+ years of friendship." curiosity is a powerful part of the love ethic I think about. even after 20 years being curious is a gentle landing to me and I hope to cultivate this with those who know me.

I experienced a gentle landing recently. I got some very bad news about my vocational dreams, and the folks around me have held me so gently and carefully as I process it. I am deeply grateful to rest in their love.
