This made me really want to pay attention to what's happening in my life when I have crying dreams. I've never tried to connect the two. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece.

I gain so much insight from my dreams. I've been having especially vivid ones lately. I'll be interested in hearing what comes up for you if you write them down or pay more attention to what the dreams are telling you. I'm glad the piece resonated. 💚

I’m so glad this resonated. Thank you for letting me know. 💚 Yes, that dream was intensely visceral. One of those vivid dreams that feels like a lived memory.

This narrative is so profound and time sensitive for me. I cried hard for so many years and now I cannot cry anymore. I cannot bring those tears forward and it hurts because I need to do that. perhaps I would feel better. I have printed this out and placed in my journal. Namaste, Karen, Burlington, Vt.
