you are always enough. always. <3 the drawing by your youngest halted me - how it parallels the obscurus starting behind your eyes (your EYES!), how it shatters at the baseline, how it falls into prisms and gives rise to the moon and the skyline over that ripening field. It's a beautiful ending and new beginning all at once, and I believe Wendell would be so proud hearing the recognition you have now, stemming from the inside out.

“This year, they came to me.” A memory I hold so near to my heart, your joy and unraveling as you told me about this.

I have so enjoyed walking this road with you both in real time and now, in looking back. I know in the midst of all of it, there was so much unknown, but to be able to look back as you are doing and open your arms wide to the lessons and truths and wonder of the challenges you’ve faced - something to be proud of, as Wendell always said ♥️

This is it for me: “The writing is the foundation. Staying attuned to my inner landscape is the foundation. Abiding in relationship to my Creator is the foundation. Looking out the window to contemplate the world and its people is the foundation.”

Yes, yes, yes to this and all of your story and heart for writing. Thank you for sharing this journey with us.
