I am deeply moved by this piece, Stephanie, and I have long been a fan of your writing. The cumulative effect of this is that I’m going to once again work with your wonderful and deeply meaningful writing to help me overcome my lifelong struggle with ADD, and its attendant affects my living space. I have read what Dr. Gabriel mate test positive about how trauma can trigger latent ADD, and also recall her. My mother said I was an extremely tidy child until they left me, a very young four-year-old, suddenly with an unknown relative out of state for a month while they traveled. Ever since then, I have most painfully struggled to slow down enough to take in your wonderful guidance, as your course was the very first one I purchased from DailyOM, and the one that has remained closest to my heart. I will return to work, also keep your lovely new book in mind, and will write you with any news of progress.
In keeping with your beautiful post about your visit to the Middle East, I will mention the transcendently, beautiful poem called “Kindness” written by Naomi Shihab Nye. Her father, Aziz Shihab, a Palestinian, and American mother attempted to return to Palestine to live until the threat of war forced them to leave. I’ve been fortunate enough to hear Naomi Shihab Nye speak and sing in public, and she personifies the open hardness of which you write.
Beautiful. All of it. Thank you so much for your kind words and vulnerability, Alison, and for being here. There's nothing that the heart can't handle and heal from our past ... one small step at a time 🙏🏼 I will be sure to check out the Kindness poem. It sounds wonderful.
This is very healing post, Stephanie! The wailing wall experience, and your sacred experience at the birthplace of Jesus are both so moving. Thank you for your meditation and for the beautiful words by Rabbi Shapiro. 💖🙏
Your thoughts are profound, and touch my heart. Thanks for sharing your journey and your wisdom. the 1 minute meditation is lovely, and I will share with my T'ai Chi Chih class and my meditation group.
Amen. Thank you, Stephanie, for sharing your beautiful spiritual experience and for giving us the prayer and the Rabbi's wise words. All acted as a salve for my soul.
Thank you for sharing this. There is so much hurt all around and we need to listen to the still small voice of healing. Loved the words by the Rabbi. Yes, there is no difference with those moms carrying their babies. May we move into hope that this craziness will end soon.
Thank you so much for this. I’ve been truly struggling with this and this helps me to think even from a far I can/we can do something to help. 🙏JillNoël
This is exactly what I needed. It is so beautiful and wonderful. I am copying it and using it throughout the day—no, years! V. Bailey
Love it. So glad it resonates, Vicki. It is very portable and easy to carry with you into the day for years to come.🙏🏼
