Luke, I have always written that people feel as they do. There are no wrong feelings..it's what you do with them that matter.
And I hope, in all this time that we have been corresponding, that you got from me that what you are feeling is completely normal. All of it.
I have seen what you are made of and I, too, don't think this is too much for you both to overcome if that's what you want.
So, I just want to say this. In order to reconcile, certain feelings that are perfectly understandable, need dealing with.
The way to peace (and to bacon ) is to work through each thing and then let it go.
You are right, dbing is completely different in piecing. SOme of the elements are the same, but, you need to open yourself up and with that comes some tough stuff.
This journey is amazing and crazy and difficult and all sorts of stuff in between. But man, it changes your life. It changes how you look at things and people. It changes your priorities and your beliefs. And I don't know about you, but even with all the tough stuff, I am grateful for it.
You are doing it, Luke, in your wonderful Cali way. I am amazed by how hard you've worked.
That's why I've challenged you, though, and it's why I've stuck by you.
Those shadows...the things we want to look away from..those are the things that are usually the most important to address.
Sometimes we have to back up, then take a running jump..to make it over the big puddle, yea?
