Beautiful, karen. You have written a moving tribute to this friend who crossed your journey with such open self vulnerability. The spiritual aspect of your visual and written craft is evident and present here as well. Thank you for sharing, I look forward to reading more. ❤️
Very moved after reading this brave, poignant story - I always admire deep dives into honesty and you've shared so much here. My son, who is 29, recently asked me during a crisis of his own, "So do I really just have to keep growing more scar tissue over everything?"
He seemed both shocked and indignant. This is what it is like to be young - the rest of us know that the truth is ... well, yes.
I guess the good bit is, that even though everything is always changing that too can be encouraging. Thanks for this, Karen.
Karen this was so poignant in the blending of the eclipse and your relationship with Ed. I am touched by your honesty, your relationship with yourself and others, in this case, Ed, and sadly, Ed's leaving. Which I was not prepared for. So I can imagine the shock to you. We are all such complicated beings. I am so glad you are writing as you put words to paper beautifully.

Thank you so much Sue.. this means lot to me.
Your clever son... "So do I really just have to keep growing more scar tissue over everything?" yes, in fact, you do. And somehow we manage to do it.

This is beautiful, Karen. It is a difficult subject, to be sure, but I'm grateful to those with the courage to speak it out loud.
Many thanks, Kim. Writing, and putting it out there, is freeing, and scary, and empowering. Somehow, I'm being called to do it.
