I'm so glad you've come to the place where there is space for you and others without it becoming an either/or. And I love that it becomes tending a garden, with the reciprocity that is evident in the natural world.

That’s exactly it. I’m grateful you felt the reciprocity in it.

April, I really relate to what you’re saying, and I want to thank you for your gentle, thoughtful, and thorough honesty. I was with you every moment of the way in this article.

Thank you, Wendy. It means a lot to know you felt it with me.

Thanks for this reflection. One thing I've been noticing is how often that reflex to hold everything is rewarded, which makes that feeling of being alone even harder to talk about.
