Your nails may be bitten and clenched, but it’s your lambent heart that mirrors the loving clouds.

Your words sing with possibility, embracing the everyday and kissing it on the lips. Beautiful.

Whether aware of it or not, Lindsey, you are for me (and undoubtedly many others) at many times that very “universe (embodied) shaking a sheet of foil in my face, startling me into awareness with its reflected brightness, and saying: here. now.”

Your words are consistently crafted with a sensuality and beauty that lure and invite me into your thoughts…as you make your way into mine.

Thank you.

“these episodes…are meaningful because of, not in spite of, their capriciousness and whimsy.” I would venture to say you recognize these moments because this, too, is your nature, to be capricious, to create whimsy, to captivate us as you do.

ohhhhhhh! this: “break right through all of my defenses, all of my carefully-crafted defenses, and says: this is all that matters. This. This feeling, this buoyancy of the spirit. This. Here. Now.” reads like a blessing – a prayer – an invitation – to the Beloved. Wow!

I love the quote, and I love your metaphor. The brooding sky, and the sudden openings. We need to breathe deeply when they come, and take their nourishment as a gift.

Beautifully written, as always.

So lovely, Lindsey. And so familiar and true. If only I could figure out how to live in this sensation – where “this is all that matters. This. This feeling, this buoyancy of the spirit. This. Here. Now.”
