Cael, you cracked the code. There's some scary things about this world and life and our place in it, but love really is the superpower that changes everything. You live it and carry it in abundance, pal.
haha. right?!? I need to admit that I am also often the person shaking the other chairs and not for the better. Guess we all take turns, huh? Grateful for you, Jason.
Thank you, yet again, for this beauty you bring into the world. It opens and inspires my heart. It helps me to remember that sometimes I am the one described as annoying, unsettling, disturbing. Sometimes I am the one described as steadying, surprising, and blessing. What a beautiful, humbling reminder.
oh thank you so much for this. Love how you put it, Becky. We really can be both unsettling and steadying, burden and blessing, all in the same day (or even same breath ha) Such a humbling and human reminder. Grateful for the kind of human you are. One of the best. Encouraged by you. Grateful for you.
And can we sit empathetically in the jiggly unknown of why — why is his leg bouncing? A nervous flyer? Heading to a stressful visit with relatives? A job interview? Or maybe just bouncing to the jammin’ tunes in his ear buds. If we could just make room for all the whys, we might all live in a kinder world. Thanks Brad!
Lodro, thank you for seeing that. It menas alot. Always amazed at how much we really do depend on each other. Glad this little story carried that to you, friend.
Brad--I love this so much and will mention it in my next Substack post with both a link to this particular post and a nod to your Substack generally--which I always find so soothing. (And we need soothing these days.) Is it okay if I include one of the images? (Obviously, including the source)--but specifically the one at the end? Diana
Yep! As Ram Dass taught, “We’re all just walking each other home.” 💚
BEAUTIFULLY said. yes yes yes. Exactly this. Thank you so much for adding this here, Jill.
Scary, but true. Another reason to speak and act with love, always.

thanks so much, Penny. So glad you're here.
Oof! That tracks.

It’s totally mutual!
