Thank you, Priscilla, such wisdom and beauty. I read several parts over and over to let them sink in. You're so right about the secret river. You might feel resonance with a song I love, "I Just Close My Eyes" by Deva Premal and Miten, that sings of where the secret river is taking us.

Bless you, Gail, as someone who knows a few things about following the river! Am going to go look up that song right now. Thanks for being here.

I really appreciated this podcast Priscilla. I have been working a lot lately on letting go of control. I am reading Melody Beattie’s book on codependency and doing the work. It’s been profound. I like the connection here that letting go of control is not just self-care it’s community care including care of the environment.

Part of our feeling separate from nature is seeing the processes inside us and the processes outside of us as two different things. But they're all nature, aren't they? So it makes sense that they would act in similar ways—and respond in similar ways to human efforts to control. Brava to you for doing the work, Mary, and may it flower into ever-happier life! Thanks for your comment and for being part of the conversation.
