Such a beautiful post, Rachel. Thank you for sharing a perfect message for the times. It's so ironic that we must face ourselves and go within to remember we're simply part of the whole. I am grateful for the daffodils.

Beautiful!! Will read more carefully later. You are very diligent and I appreciate your dedicated work! I’ve studied quite a lot of Jung over the years.. during therapy mainly then passing on as I the therapist… individuation is quite a trip. Rebirth is not for the faint hearted! I love your photos and Rilke! As a 70 year old I relate to the ripening into maturity.

My mother likened my grandmother to ‘ a full blooming rose’ and she said’ well darling I think all my petals are falling off’ !
