To your opening paragraphs: same! I’m enjoying being tuned into the hum. I have periods when I’m close to it and others when I can’t hear it much. I didn’t think there was rhyme or reason to it but broadly speaking it DOES seem to be easier when I’m fractured a little with the pain of [the world, and my life].
I really didn’t realize a friend had written this until I saw the “xx Ellie” at the bottom. Brilliant piece, how cool to read your writing totally anew when I didn’t know it was you! (Brain glitch)
I think about this a lot. And it comes up all the time in my work with others. I don’t think it does always have to hurt, however, to have it not hurt, requires a form of commitment to the divine and sacred that breaks apart the systems which restrain us tightly. It remakes our lives completely and makes it complicated to remain within any form of ossified structure.
John! Somehow I missed this comment, which is a bummer because I love it. It sounds like you're saying that fully cleaving to the divine is what can make the rupture a moment of (maybe?) pleasure or bliss rather than pain -- but the rupture always comes, one way or another... ?
