It is this process of discernment - knowing when more discernment is needed, specifically, that I have found most valuable in my upbringing and experience as a Quaker. My Aunt calls it my ‘Inner Clearness Committee.’ It came to mind reading what you wrote, and I offer that up in support of your process and your heart, that may need some holding right now. ❤️
whoof. holding you and this process tenderly and gently.
i have been getting a bunch of insight and support in my own wrestling from _the things that scare you_ by pema chödrön and _anatomy of the spirit_ by caroline myss
carolyn hax also often has wise words for me, and these have helped me recently (i paraphrase): "let acceptance come first; understanding may or may not come after that, but you can start with acceptance of what *is*."
also: breath, breath, breath and leaning into the discomfort of the moment
