Your words and observations touched me deeply, and as I looked around at the other guests—knowing how well they support my odd little efforts too—it felt good. That green embrace never ceases to amaze me and thank you so much for the hopes you have for my buried negative emotions. I will keep that in mind as I venture back outside to make new memories and to restart the growth that needs to continue. Observing it again means more meaningful posts here too. I like that thought and I want to write more and more.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08720485909592974251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778034964111352393.post-60267259006203480702012-08-10T23:12:37.556-07:002012-08-10T23:12:37.556-07:00Yes.

At some point while I was very ill I thought about how many people think that some things should be kept to yourself in our society and I realized just how painful this can be for many people—like myself—who need help. There is nothing special about my experience, and I often find that the motives to keeping things locked up are so impure because they're not meant to help the ill, often their meant to protect everyone around them. <br /><br />I really like the saying about pain being inevitable but suffering is a choice. I choose not to suffer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08720485909592974251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778034964111352393.post-22274846066877336942012-08-10T22:57:20.741-07:002012-08-10T22:57:20.741-07:00I like to weave very much.

I'm glad you are in a much better place on your road to "recovery", and I'm inspired to have a look at my own life and ensure I don't waste energy on what will only drain me. <br /><br />I hope your buried negative emotions will either surface and evaporate or be washed out in an autumn down-pour so the garden can be fully your place and all about Life and Growth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778034964111352393.post-1819677255716632372012-08-10T17:51:40.366-07:002012-08-10T17:51:40.366-07:00I remember the first (and only!) time I visited yo...I remember the first (and only!) time I visited your garden you kept apologizing for it.
