I'm always a broken record in your comments but I just adore you so much. Your writing, your recovery, the way you gorgeously described us all as a slithering starved ouroboros. You inspire me and give me hope even though this all feels fucked. ♥️ I'm so happy to see you on here again and hope you're doing okay. Take care. ♥️

So glad to hear your recovery (within recovery) is going well and you're taking it gently - has the physical recovery tipped into the positive for you yet? (It's so nice when it does, to never have to worry about some things again...)

You hit my heart, as usual - I'm sith you on so much of this (including Tangle's recent contortions) - will have to look into some of the other resources 💛

I didn’t even see yours! ☺️ And I’m heartened to hear you have clocked the Tangle “contortions” as well. Perfect word to use.

Haha! I figured you knew what I meant one way or another - funny how our brains often see what we expect, helpful in this situation at least 😁

'Contortions' was a riff on your 'bending over backwards' 😊 I totally agree but hadn't quite been able to put my finger on it yet...

Thank you so much for your kindness, Ann ♥️ you have touched my heart. I’m still having to limit my activity due to pain but I’m definitely much better than I was! I’m truly looking forward to that tripping point and am certain it will be soon.

Always important to remember the Serenity prayer. The world has always been nuts and outside out of direct control—wishing for it to be different is a recipe for illness and self-delusion.

Grant me the serenity. 🙏

God is in charge.

I love the serenity prayer and recite it often. Also, prayer/God is a tricky concept. Humans can use it to elevate their consciousness -- or as an excuse to abandon their own agency.

True with anything. It’s up to us to choose our own deities.
