I'm so glad it feels like a gift, Violeta. I feel the same. I know I'll keep returning to this for Bobbie's voice and wisdom ❤️

The idea of committing to the path, but holding it loosely, of bringing gentleness to a really hard state---it's about how attuned you are to who you are & what you need. Beautiful thoughts, beautiful woman. Thank you for introducing her; she's new to me.

Thank you for reading and for sharing this, Maggy. I'm so glad Bobbie's words resonated with you. She names that practice so beautifully, doesn't she? I think because she really lived it out for many decades.

Thank you for this — hearing Bobbie and seeing her smile all afternoon. You are so right about the way her humor welcomed and gentled, rather than mocked and masked the truth. I have The Blue Hour sitting beside me tonight.

Thank you so much, Elizabeth. I'm so glad to know that resonated, and that The Blue Hour is keeping you company tonight. It's a remarkable book, isn't it? 💙
