Becoming the person who can see the new thing -- There are things about you that are simply…true. And you haven’t seen them yet. Wild, huh?I still cannot fathom that I went 40 years living in my body without a CLUE that I was autistic the entire time. I just thought life made me super anxious and I had to work really hard to keep up and figure things out and look like I had it together.
I love the imagery of the spiral and how it can build on where we were before. One still has to move through that with intention, which I know is true for you. I also see the potential for building ruts in our journey, as we find comfort in what we think we know to be true.
Today, I purchased your book Still Here. I wrote one poem after my 16 year old brother died when I was 19. It sent me on a years long spiral of feeling betrayed by the church teaching that God is Love. It has taken a long, long time to understand that thought differently.
Had to smile while reading this. Intrigued by the inner life resonates. Thankful for your insight, Jenny.

I fear becoming too comfortable with who I am and where I’m at.
The universe seems to be like that: everything circling, but always over new territory.
"We circle the truth until we can see it."
I've spent a lot of time thinking about this idea in the last year. I call it "orbiting the truth." 💫
