Slow processor Tina read this yesterday and has been sharing it, and sitting with it, and allowing it to change how I see myself and the world. It even served as a guide this morning when I would normally rush and bustle and second-guess my second-guessing.
I keep coming back to this question: What is my gift of a particular way of loving? It's no surprise to me that 2 songs came to mind.
The first is "Stubborn Love" by The Lumineers. I felt embarrassed for a long time that I think of the process of learning to love myself when I hear the song. And I do, and maybe "stubborn" is part of my way of loving.
The second is "On the Turning Away" by Pink Floyd. I was reminded of this song last week after not hearing it for well over two decades. Played about maximum volume, my car becomes a church as the final verse exhorts, "No more turning away..." Maybe this is another piece of my particular way of loving.
Thank you for sharing your words, the words of others, and a spark that rekindled a remembering of who I am.
I have read three comments in the last day that have amazing synergy:
1. “That one main thing is to fall in love with Jesus and to love what He loves. Then you will be inclined to do what He does because love does the will of the beloved.” (Tuck, Reflections from a series on Proverbs)
2. “Lord, let your will become my desire, daily.” (Terri, a friend, from her daily journal yesterday, her spin on Psalm 40:8)
3. “Remember the deep root of your being, the presence of your Lord. Give yourself to the one who already owns your breath and your moments.” (Rumi, a new friend, thanks for introducing me)
Things that come in 3’s are truths!
Thanks for a wonderful glimpse of Mudgy. Looking forward to hearing more things that you can now say out loud and not be sent home at half time.

God Bless you friend.
“I don’t think safer is or ever was the point”. Chris. Thank you for this truth.
And finally I am glad of my gift of being able to eat my own weight in shrimp. Because I sure can!
