"Surrendering to a greater grace than I could have imagined" - these words are echoing around my heart after reading your beautiful post just now, Catherine. Those and "I bloody hate yoga" which literally had me laughing out loud. I'm so grateful to read all of where you are - the grace, the frustration, the gratitude, the nostalgia, the mythological reflection, the stoicism, the vulnerability, all of the tendrils of this ongoing, unfolding journey that you are travelling. It's a privilege to bear witness to all that you share and feel inspired by the way you craft words with such beauty. With love, Caz xx

Hello Sarah, oh I am so sorry to hear your diagnosis - and I really hope you are finding a way to live with it that isn't devastating. I understand that total up-ending of life that happens with unexpected illness xxx

Love your vulnerability in the post Catherine, along with much about aging that I really relate to. It definitely feels like a journey of rediscovery. xx

Dear Catherine,

So very grateful to be reading these writings. Delicate and strong simultaneously, such a huge weave of emotional matters around the slow (sometimes) changes we encounter in our bodies at the same time of discovering - who am I beyond all that. Thank you thank you for the sharing of a moment here and there and the devotion to honesty you exude in your writing.

With much love, Ruth xxx

Thank you Catherine, for your heart felt words of healing wisdom! I really empathize with what you are saying and feeling here. I've been playing archetypal twister, with the whole disabled theme myself! Glad to say like yourself, I am also finding unexpected, once hidden treasures, deep within my unexplored archetypal caves. xxxx

I hear you.

I've been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and that very name upends everything.

I hear your words. Xx
