This is the kind of humanistic transparency I want to see more of in the world, and that the world needs to hear and reflect on. Thanks for putting it out there!
“There’s also joy—a kind of jouissance—in sorrow. Haven’t you felt that?” >> so true! My nearly 4 y/o will cry while looking in the mirror. Although he’s okay with me sitting next to him, he does not want to be “lifted” out of the feeling until it passes or is replaced by the desire for a hug. I remember doing the same when I was little. Wanting to witness my own sadness because there was something beautiful to it.
Wow that is such a beautiful illustration Deborah! Thank you so much for sharing it. I remember that vividly as well. I think most people, upon reflection would agree that we're all born with the innate desire to experience ourselves, in all emotional states. We are Shakti; awareness, aware of itself.
