I *love* this, Rachel (joking/not)! Love, loss, fully-felt life truly is raw, earth-shattering and vertiginous. These are beautiful words to describe how very intense it can all be. It took me a long time to even begin to grasp that the longing I felt around love or loss was really a longing for connection with myself and with spirit, which as you have so wisely expressed here, one and the same. I appreciate your practical steps for testing the abstract nature of this truism.
Thank you, Keith. I've heard (and agree) that the pain of separation from Source is the origin of human suffering. So, if we can rediscover Source/Spirit in ourselves, we are re-membered as whole, as divine.
