Healing, Part 3

Sometimes I think too much, talk too much, write too much. Sometimes I forget that poking around in an open wound complicates the healing process.

So I'll try stillness and keeping my heart open.

I enjoyed your company so much, last night. I'm already looking forward to the next time we all assemble, like that.

As for this beautiful, perfect post, there is nothing to add. It is whole, resplendent.

Besos.

Last night's title could have been "Healing, Part 2.5." It was key in getting me here, to Part 3.

I'm sad I had to run out (ahhh... the trickiness of 1 car for 2 people in Planet NM). But I'm overjoyed about the time we did spend together.

And I'm so thankful for our back-and-forth of ideas, on and offline. Resplendent, indeed.

Besos to you.

Thank you! I'm so happy to see one of my fellow fans of Suze's blog comment here.

There's something very touching about what you've said here. It's true, we tend to poke around in unhealed wounds, thus making it all the more difficult to heal and move on.

It was great meeting you at Lore's, btw (and I completely understand the one car dilemma because it's the same for my husband and I).

Thank you, Mary Mary! I look forward to our next meeting.

I had not seen this! Mainly because I have not been doing what you say in your post...! But I'm better now. Thanks for sharing my painting!! I miss you!
