...She's still circling the neighborhood---her stomach waging a battle with
her better judgment.I even left a peace offering on lawn (obliterated boom box!).

Sophie!! Please come home! Daddy won't dance any more!!

learning to deal with the codependency will help you. Detachment is needed...

This thread makes my heart feel full of love, gratitude, and joy. What a gift you all are to me and to each other and to every other stranger who happens to find this space! If I do even 1/4 of what is suggested here, I know my days will be brighter and lighter. Thanks also to Seek, who knew to ask really important questions. I hope you find some peace & healing soon.

Here are two pieces I find inspiring and have, over time, memorized:

"I beg you...to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer...

--Rainer Marie Rilke


i thank You God for most this amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any--lifted from the no
of all nothing--human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

--e.e. cummings

Oh, GardenMama, those are BEAUTIFUL. I so love the written language, and the wisdom and strength that emanates from those who write from a place of pain/wisdom/sorrow, etc.

e.e. cummings knows how to do it up just write!
