How wonderfully powerful in so many ways. I’m touched by the paradox of how a partners love, a male partner at that, can be at once liberating and in a way limiting. How transformatively held.

Thank you for your comment, Timothy. Yes. It is a paradox for sure. And you've captured the essence that I've experienced. Until we see ourselves, truly, maybe it is just like this with everyone in our lives. Our existence seems to be solid in a way because they are here for a time. And then they're not, as you know so well, my friend. But in seeing ourselves so deeply, this relationship with that which never leaves becomes real again. Unquestionably real.

Julie- What I appreciate the most is the courage in scribing this AND sharing it. In writing and in speech, experience is always relived. Often reopening wounds. Especially ones so ever present. Your courage is inspiring.
