Light (4 of 4)
So I thank these brilliant, difficult, challenging women, Mary Karr, Jeanette Winterson and Lauren Berlant, for not trying to please, for going to the hardest places and putting their talents and intellects at the service of sharing hard experiential truths that all too few have the gall to share. These are not comforting words. But the knowledge that they've been here too: that comforts me enormously; that surely is one of the things writing is for.

These past months (lurker extraordinaire that I am) I've been alternating between holding my breath, or taking deep, grounding breaths when reading your posts. Rooting for you. May you find a true home somewhere in the unchartered territory you're now traversing.

In the middle of the worst scenario of the worst person in the world, in the middle of all the heavy dialogue with ourselves, open space is always there. (Pema Chondron).
I know, only a short quote and what does she know anyway...
But there it is, do take care.
I've been loving the quotes you've posted these past few days. They ring so true and it is so encouraging to hear these hard truths so beautifully expressed.
