Eyes filled with tears, heart full of love, treasured sharing this is, dear sister. And, hey, I see you really went through something and you’re different now. And I love you for all your walks, past, present, and future. All blessings up for your return, and text me if you need to borrow some integration sunnies incase it’s a little bright outside the cave xx
Dear Rayann. Thank you for disclosing these details of your recent descent into initiation. "Dismantled by the holy," is a mytho-poetic invocation in itself.
I want to acknowledge the strength, humility and deep courage it took to pass through all of these deep challenges. Sometimes it feels like the holy has no mercy. Martin Shaw knows of what he speaks, when he says, "There will be moments when it appears all hope is lost and you have to experience what it feels like to continue to exist within that hopelessness.”
Until we find the ways to support each other in traversing these wild and rough terrains, I sense we will remain floundering around inside cultures built on our collective immaturity. To say this has not turned out well is a massive understatement.
May the courage and clarity that live in you spread itself far and wide, my dear friend.
Hey, I see you really went through something and you’re different now. Thank you for seeing me in parts of my own initiation. I have a key memory of you hearing me and that helped.

Thank you for this Rayann. Deep resonance for me in your words. So many places to slow down and be with
“….there is no circle of elders to offer me new clothes upon my return or hear my story by the fire, …”
