It looks like shingles right now. Nobody i know has it or has gotten it. I am 44. Maybe a year long kitchen renovation. My dad's dearh anniversary in a few weeks. Maybe world grief and trauma in my body. Whatever it is i can NOT ignore it bc it is very painful. Annoying. And it makes me pause in awe more often than before. At how people with full body pain do life every day. Invisible pain. Unspoken pain. How newly diagnosed cancer in a loved one is now a warrior stance. Yet it does not have to be. It can be grief and anger and loss. And all part of awe. Or an invitation to awe and wonder.
Superb article Kaitlin; timely..NOW..but anytime. Appreciated your placement of article to read by Dr. Laschmin. So well written. And a special thank for the introduction to a new singing group: Coldplay.
I don't usually care for that genre of music...but the words captivated me and found them inspiring and uplifting. Again, thank you for keeping you "LIMINALITY JOURNAL" going.
C.S. Lewis called it “The Numinous” - things that bring us awe. He said to imagine being in a dark room alone when you find out there’s a ghost in there with you… versus being in the dark room alone and finding out there’s a tiger in there too. The feeling is totally different with the mystery vs the concrete. I’ve always remembered that.
Thank you Kaitlin. This came at just the perfect time and as always, your words and practice take their roots right in my soul. As I wrestle with how to lift people to shine their lights, I often forget to shine my own, and neglect the receiving of light is as important as the giving. Blessings on your writing, your living, your work, your workshops and programs, and your trip to Ireland! 🙏🏻
