Oh Chloe, this is just beautiful. I've had many a night in a hospital bed light this, wide awake from those steroids, feeling certain I am touching a void, feeling that liminal, powerful space beyond. Thank you for sharing this. xx

such beautiful illustrations, Chloe. What time is your online circle? I’d love to attend but I have a yoga class that evening and it might clash.

Just beautiful, Chloe, thank you for letting us into the vulnerability of your experience of the velvety cloak that is darkness. I see what you mean about what it calls our being to surrender too - lack of sight means more trust in the universe and perhaps our more somatic wisdom over cerebral knowing, seeing and interpreting.

thank you Christina, for reading and paraphrasing so beautifully. I am deeply interested in these different ways of "seeing"/feeling!

Beautiful writing! The way you describe being in that liminal space and the glimpse behind the curtain captures it so well.

Beautiful Chloe. I think motherhood has forced me to confront and be with the dark and I’m a lot more comfortable with it now than I used to be. X
