I love this, thank you for sharing those intimate details of your life, and how exploring wilderness has been healing your trauma. I realized I have been doing the same... spontaneous songs and prayers of connection which feel sacred, deep.
Not easy to talk about. But I will more and more in part because of stories like yours.
Thank you so much for taking the time with this piece, and for your kind words. I really appreciate it. I am happy to know that my work / process has, in some way, helped inspire you. My primary aim with this is to create a zone where participants can find refuge for a moment, even in situations that are difficult. After that, if these stories help inspire the reader / listener to share some of their own light, that's even better. So again, thank you!
Oh Mama Livingood, you are so loved. What a legacy you have left, and continue to leave through your son's stories. So beautiful.
