Oh, thank Goodness -- the ancestors, the mountain, the possums, the doxies and all of creation. We need you here with us right now! You are so right! Love is always the answer. But it doesn't always present in the way we often think of as love. Our bodies recognize it while our minds may not. So we must train our bodies. They are like the membrane of a drum. The receive these impressions, these sensations, and make a language out of them. The language of the land, holding us. And we are all a part of it, holding you and holding each other. Such beauty!

Oh Perdita. I don't have any words of support because my support and prayers go beyond words now - I send you love right back. And want you to know your words here, right know, gave me hope where I was finding none today. Thank you.

this month I had three friends experience cancer miracles...a remission, a clean cat scan, an unexpectly benign tumor and each time their miracle was mine, let me know that there could be all kinds of surprises...there can be for us all.

Hi Perdita, I was so filled with relief, joy and love as I read your sharing today. I love that you went from feeling like you were locked in a dark trunk to knowing that you were being held in the womb of Mother Earth. Perhaps all my emotions play a part in my reaction to your writing but I honestly think this is one of the most beautiful passages I have ever read. Perhaps someday what you wrote will be part of one of your books. sending much love and ongoing prayers for your complete recovery. Vicki S.

This has been such a scary, breath-holding ride for all of us, I believe. You have made such a huge difference in my life and in the lives of others, and we could not bear to lose you. You have been thrown every life-saving prayer, idea, wish, and gift we could all devise. What a huge amount of love has been sent your way. You deserve it, and we will continue to send even more.
