I've lived a life of wobbly purpose for 60 years. Finally I am finding what matters. Turns out that's a deeply somatic process -- meaning I've had to find it in my body. A twinkle of awareness + turning toward + sensation (specifically soft and fuzzy in my chest) + allowing. I also think of it as "re-compassing" -- turning toward soft and fuzzy is my new North Star -- the miracle of my life.
Lovely piece Julia. Inspired writing. Truly enjoy everything you write and therefore absolutely sure that some of these Commitments to Life and to actually live are truly working.
