What is Not But Could Be If

[Noorie]

Sara, this is one of the best things I’ve read in a while. Approachable, above all. Your fitting mention of bell hooks reminded me that I found her writing during my Master’s program at a time when I felt just such a lack (of nurturance, feeling cared for, heard AND listened to…). Thank you for this 🙏

Noorie, your comment means so much to me. Thank you. And I agree that reading bell hooks feels comforting.

Your writing is so lovely, and has so much warmth and depth. I've been thinking along a similar line and can trace some of it back to becoming a parent too, but I feel it even more now in midlife. I know for sure I don't want to die tight-fisted — and I don't wanna live that way either.

[Sara Saljoughi]

Thank you for your kind words, Daphne. I definitely don't want to live or die that way--I suppose the questions of how one lives (and therefore dies...) become more pronounced in midlife. Things get kind of clear in a new way, or at least, I hope that's what is happening.

This resonates so much. I think about these topics often but you’ve really expressed it all in such a simple and powerful way.
