You are so creative! Such a beautiful written article to go along with the art - truly magical. I think in life we must forgive others and ourselves which is not easy. Maybe we are here to learn.

Thank you again! I really pushed myself into more vulnerability with this one, so I appreciate it being well received. And yes, though it’s not so much learning as remembering…if that makes sense. As I “learn” it just feels like coming home or closer to it

Speaking as a nurse and if I was your nurse and fellow human I agree vulnerability puts you at risk. You shared your life that’s bravery but so many will steal that from you. Being vulnerable and forgiving heals you but you really are gifted

You know Ethan, when I listened to this video, I thought of you. Perhaps your veiwers will enjoy it, too. Spread it around, if only as a good story. 😁

I like this, very much.

As a fellow traveler, I relate.

Learning to identify my feelings and their source was important for me. It still keeps me sane and gives me a starting point.

Thank you. And to me, the body is the only place that hasn’t been fully captured, where prelinguistic memory and direct interaction with reality remain unmediated. The more accurately we can identify those experiences and feelings, the closer we can get to reality, and the feeling of being alive
