This really resonated with me. My long term partner and I are currently navigating large shifts in what it means to be partners beyond the romantic sense and how we can continue to partner when the narrow definitions of coupling and partnership now longer fit us.

What you’ve gathered here feels like a portal, inviting us to the vitality of uncertainty and the pleasure waiting for us behind fear and shame—without demonizing those experiences. Really needed to read this today. Thank you 💜

This is probably one of the most insightful writings on relating that I've read in a long time (and I've read a lot). I feel like I've been seeking this perspective without even knowing it existed and will definitely be contemplating this for awhile. Thank you so much for sharing!

What a stunning and resonant philosophy. i have been reaching vaguely and lazily for these sentiments for a long time. seeing them synthesized into something that feels so actionable has stirred me beyond belief. truly inspiring

I’ve been reading a lot of indigenous books about relating to land, how we came to be separated, and how to return; but this really put what I’ve read in perspective for me.

I definitely have to re-read this to really understand all of what you’re conveying. Thank you for sharing!

Kylie Tseng's avatar

yes absolutely. our disconnection from the land is so much part of this pain we feel
