Such a beautiful invitation you offered to all of us into your journey of holding the complexity and nuances of our memories and our familial, ancestral origins. Finding a way through with love and presence and curiosity for the why of it all and how it all could be different if we learned to respond differently, more compassionately. So appreciative of the glimpse inside you’ve given us by sharing a piece of your story 🙏❤️
Thank you for this, Dörthe. I’m glad you have found your own sense of belonging inside yourself. Identity and the place we call home, feel at home, is such a complex thing. As are the views people have of us because of where we were born. Coming from the UK, England specifically, many people all over the world have said all kinds of things about what kind of person that makes me. Like you, I’ve lived in many different places and what that’s taught me is that essentially we’re all the same. We all want love, acceptance and security but some of us go about trying to get that in unfathomable ways that don’t look anything like love. I send you love and peace 💙
