This is such an incredible piece. Grief, our friend, enemy, silent one, wrenching one that so many shy away from has been shed in a profound and potent light. Thank you. I keep coming back to this and shared it with my beloved who works intimately with grief every day.
Loved it! Totally agree...one of my favorite Jewish sayings is that on Purim, you get so drunk you can't tell Haman from Mordecai...or everything is everything...
Thank you so much for this beautiful poem Rachel! It is so good to be in your creative company again. I look forward to continuing this life journey with you in your new format. Love you so! Linda-Tree

Wow, I love this, and I hear it in your voice (both literally reading it aloud in my mind, and in terms of your writer’s voice). “You are surrounded by a swirl of presence” -- so powerful, intense, and clearly spoken from a place of personal experience. I also knew that this poem reminded me of something I said to my dad just yesterday over text: “Life is full of joy and divinity already, even in the suffering.” I think I may have been saying it more to myself, but anyway, this poem felt like good timing to me.

This is ambient heart music and medicine. Thank you for your grace.

Dear Rachel,
Thank you so much for sharing those beautiful pieces!
You literally “turned my mourning into dancing” with them.
I will post my sunset pieces inspired by yours in chat.
I felt every word, your poetry always touches my heart & soul.
