So proud of you! I know how deeply embedded this manuscript is for you! The loneliness is space for new friends that you can create. ❤️

Yes!! You’re a beaming example of the raw and real of the process and the polish and poise of its delivery. I can’t wait to see how the manuscript makes its next steps. I can’t help but think immediately of a favorite quote by a favorite poet, which I have to remind myself of daily. It’s Rilke and it’s long but it’s worth it … “Everything is gestation and then bringing forth. To let each impression and each germ of feeling come to completion wholly in itself, in the dark, in the inexpressible, the unconscious, beyond the reach of one's own intelligence, and await with deep humility and patience the birth-hour of a new clarity: that alone is living the artist's life, in understanding and in creating.” Onwards, my friend!
