Then of its spontaneous return. Right before my husband got diagnosed with a rare disease that eventually took his life, we were going to get a divorce. After 14 years, I am now finding myself addressing the issues that I had when I was married. Any chance you will be writing about your experience in your relationship because with your insight and incredible way of communicating, I think so many of us would benefit from what you would have to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524364334037666877.post-59617809182248172442011-10-28T13:24:11.983-04:002011-10-28T13:24:11.983-04:00No matter what you think, its how and what you fee...No matter what you think, its how and what you feel. Sometimes you must reach out to feel, sometimes you reach within.

I usually feel electrified, and all I can do is sit quietly, breathe deeply, and let sobs from deep in my core come to the surface. The only way I can respond to the presence is to say through tears, "thank you goddess mother," over and over.I feel overwhelmed by awe and gratitude as I let it wash over me and through me.<br /><br />Last week when the presence was so strong, I knew I was in a bubble of divine love.I've wanted to tell others about these experiences but haven't because I've not known what words to use to try to explain what was happening. You have helped to put it in persepctive for me, and I think I now have words to express what I experience.
