We can only be more loving when we recognize ourselves in one another. Perhaps by turning to the past, we can recover a richer understanding of recognition.
Beautifully thought out and written. A lot to think about and inspire, even for someone much older, like me. Studying in Greece… ahhh yes. I have a friend who took a workshop with George Saunders there years ago. It haunted me and now this. 😊 Thank you for the inspiration.
“If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving one be me.” - Pfff that hit me. Love how you tied your experience together with so many things to think about. Big props for taking the leap and following your nose.
Monica, the entire piece was beautiful and it was as if your soul was shining through. I loved Auden's quote. It's such a profound reminder that loving, without strings attached or for the sake of an outcome, is divine.

no age limit on the exploration of things that bring us wonder and awe!

Thank you! Slowly but surely, I will get more and more real in my writing!
