That pure feeling of being completely lit from within by calm presence, gentle joy & deep gratitude that everything & everyone around you feels the undeniable light. For me, that is the gold & goal of life now; to live in that beautiful space as often as I can get there. To live as though I were the "very sun" helping to brighten the way. I believe, wholeheartedly, this is the work for me now, now that I am aiming to always live life from my heart.
''I know times are hard, strange, and labored. I know grief and trauma swell around you, like a violent sea sometimes. I feel it too. I know deep love is birthing alongside it, but it is easy to feel there is no safe place to land, no idyl ground in which to rest, as the world rolls over on itself to reveal yet another of its aching joints. But this is how we at least begin to heal.''
I found this so so so wonderful covered in words! Thank you Sarah for sharing this with us :)
“There is nothing we yearn for more than to be looked at and upon by the eyes of someone’s sincere attention…The glow from their beings reflects the medicine one gets when receiving someone’s quiet and undivided thoughtfulness.”
These words portray the true authentic connection we all seek. My life’s goal is to be the giver and the receiver of this divine medicine. Thank you, Sarah, for again connecting to my soul.
Magnificent description. I was there with you and there with my own small children once again.it was in perfect order as I go to pick my teenage girls up from the chaos of school the must endure. I am reminded to shine my light warth and joy on them. Thank you!!!
I am reading this late, as I have been so preoccupied with doing and running lately. Thank you for this!! I finally slowed down to make time to silence the noise and get outside for a walk in the woods, still full of snow, which was melting all around me on this 50 degree day. It was so beautiful, I stopped to sit on a fallen tree and just listen to the birds singing. It was the highlight of my day!
Thank you Sarah for sharing your words of wisdom and the reminder of pure joy in each moment when we remember it’s there. I too felt as if I were with you and your boys in the preciousness of gazing up to see the beauty in the sky. It reminded me of the times many years ago when I wish I could have had the capacity to do just that. I was too lost in my own traumatic experiences and recovery to be there in the ways I wish I could have. I find myself sitting here in that grief with tears that I know are cleansing. I also know though it’s never too late and your stories reminded me of just that. Thank you so much ❤️
I can picture you all so clearly, laying on the ground watching the clouds, and it brings me great joy to hold this precious vision in my imagination. Thank you so much for sharing this intimate family moment with us, your extended and devoted online family. We love you 💗🙏🏻🌷
Thank you for this, a timely comfort and reassuring to my frazzled head and body. My heart is holding me. Presence is all that is required. Thank you. I didn't realise I'd forgotten x
"Our heads were so close we became like one giant eye." Lovely!
Your words jumped off the page and into my heart. 🙏

YES! It is my goal too, Sarah!
“I am still here with eyes to see it.” This phrase completely changed my day and how I am going to bring presence to it, thank you🙏🏻
beautiful!
