“Head thrown back in ecstasy, confetti raining from the sky. That it is possible feels euphoric. Am I already here though? Do my boots rub against the soft fur of grace? Or does it ever actually feel that way? Maybe success is that I am here. I have been birthed through the seed of a connection, a glance, a meaningful stare, and I have been created. That required but nothing from me. No need to struggle. No need to hope. No need to pray. Just being - perhaps that is truly the success of this life.” 🌟 (written & voiced by Kerryn O’Connor, from the retreat)
