“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium, and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.”
Wow. Wonderful post. My jaw is on the floor. I’ve been thinking about something similar for a while but in no where near as eloquent of terms. You’ve nailed these feelings. I wish I could give you a hug. I guess I should stop and give myself one. Thanks for sharing this.
Jen, thank you for daring to bare your heart and mind. Your writing and your voice are so powerful. May you know how much goodness you bring to my life, how much you help me understand myself by revealing yourself, and, most importantly, that you are not alone.
Awww. Thank you. I just always have to remember that whatever I've been trying to understand and integrate for, oh, *decades* is probably torturing a few other people in similar ways too. :)
I absolutely love this! Thank you so much. 💕✨

One of my all-time favorites :) :)

Hugs for all are definitely indicated. :)
