What to say, Binu? You've said it all so accurately. Every phrase resonates. I shall read this again when in a better frame of mind (such a strange phrase this is really!). Thank you for this.
I know. I wonder if we should just stop chasing that elusive state of being and mind, and make peace with the turbulent waters we have been dumped rather unceremoniously into.
This is so beautiful to read. I love the word Vilomah too, it somehow fits, and is much softer than any other word that one may want to use. You share the impact of words both when you use and when you hear. Not only are you generous here, you are so kind and thoughtful. May more words fill that vacuum as you heal, Binu. Here's a warm and tight hug from me!
Binu, thank you for writing this. Just being there is what I understood too. You are giving so much of yourself even as you are healing. Such clarity in your thought process. Very best wishes. 🌹
Dear Natasha, thank you. I know I have said this before, but it can never be said often enough - your memoir writing workshop I attended allowed me the freedom and awareness to write with my heart and not just my head. ❤️. All of you created and held that space for me.
Beautiful piece, Binu. I'm bookmarking this to read again. Loved the way you describe your own journey to find the right words. I can only imagine the effort it took to think and write with such clarity about this.
