I really liked reading this post. You are so authentic!
The way you've made that ring....such a romantic spirit, my hats off to you!
The stains of the past and pathological independence..I get you. I guess only inner healing can put those aside and allow you to form new patterns.

I often think about the fact that if something is divinely destined for us it will come or stay. So maybe even the most painful experience leads to a greater good? Maybe.

Simplicity brings me peace.

I hardly spoke to anyone besides the woman in the small shop for those ten days. A full retreat of solitude and silence.

It was bliss.

Oh....so beautiful and I can relate 100% with the bliss experienced in nature, in silence. It heals even the most broken hearts.

Writing again after 30 years after some nature times proves the healing virtues of it.

I wish you healing and inner peace, we always need these the most. Thank you for sharing this thoughtful sincere post🤗
