Hi Leesha. Thank you for this thoughtful, multi-layered piece. You capture so well the outward expressions of trauma (wordlessness, rage, etc) which make it so difficult to touch the outer world. Though I have entered “the blob” as you describe, I found it scary. But the most important part, regardless of outcome, is, as you’ve said, sitting in the darkness. If we never sit there, we’ll never know we’ll be okay. Which is a much more scary way to live than anything we might find in the blob. At least in my experience.
Thank you so much for sharing how this piece resonated with you and your wisdom. And yes, I agree the blob can be quite scary, may we all be supported when we head in.

May we all be set free by our blobs! Love this.
