Oh! Now I am sad that the journey is over. Amazing our everyday discussions, what we put out and what we hold back, our meeting with each other is always fraught with tensions. How we wish to be perceived and how we are and how we perceive the One with whom we communicate. Communication is really nuanced, in ways that dianoa isn't but is. His absence is based upon a presence and in a way who else is the conversation with?

JazakAllah khair for your comment. It's made me tear up quite a bit and I had to collect myself before writing anything in response. I'm honoured that you have taken so much away from my newsletters and hope they've benefitted you a lot ❤️

Thank you so much for reading and staying with me on my little journey! Yes it has been a revelation and it's true what you say about perceptions - of ourselves, of others, of communications, of reality... there's a nuance in it all! 'Absence is based upon a presence' ... love this!
