Great essay! And I respect your commitment, buying a watermelon for the post! I don't know that I've ever had watermelon-ade.

Something I was really struggling with lately--relating to the stuff that came to a head last week--is that I couldn't communicate with my inner observer. And thinking on the fly here, it seems like the inner observer is maybe the gatekeeper of the inner sanctuary? Like if I can't recognize the struggle, I can't reach safety from it? I dunno, that thought clearly hasn't fully developed yet. πŸ˜…

I absolutely love the way you share your journey and always give me something to think about. You're so thoughtful and giving with your words! ❀️

Thanks for reading and for sharing your thoughts, too! It sounds like you were indeed having a really hard time last week/recently. My guess would be that your system was just hurting a lot, and in need of compassion/kindness/ease more than trying harder. πŸ’— I hope you get some gentler times!!
