No, we donโ€™t. We need to make peace with living in the layers grief and aliveness that this mysterious existence is. I find myself more and more making peace with mystery. Thank you! ๐Ÿ’œ

Yes to the mystery. So much yes.

In complete agreement.

Love the dialogue within yourself. I shall borrow that technique. Also thank you for the idea of what I could do with all my old stained threadbare undies. Throwing them in the trash or turning them into rags has always feltโ€ฆ not quite right.

Lots of possibility with old undies!

I wonder about gray...what does it symbolize? How is it different from black? Or white? For me the gray would be a symbol of the both/and of/with black and white. Then again, maybe I'm tired of gray and want color :)

For me gray as a color isn't the problem. It's that I was wearing it over my pelvis. I didn't want gray underwear anymore. I didn't want that tone or energy for that part of my body in particular, especially after what the last 10 years in particular have asked of my pelvis. So, it was a way of saying, "I see you. I'm paying attention. I'm not glossing over you."

Fascinated by the ritual of removing gray. I go through cycles of no black/white/gray and then all of it. I'm forever a creature in flux who must thrift to keep up with herself.

I love that you burnt your grey pants! I laughed out loud reading โ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป I think it was the simplicity and power of it all at once. ๐Ÿ’ซ Itโ€™s also a great story sentence, isnโ€™t it!? Iโ€™m gonna burn all the knickers I donโ€™t like!
