So why is it so hard to tell you goodbye

          I've seen this close up and very personally this year, you make an excellent point but we haven't been there just yet and as a person who is staying it's so damn painful too, which I why your title is perfection. Thank you you have calmed my grief in a few words. 🌹

              Soren, wow…this hit me immediately. So few words, yet it opens such a massive emotional space between inevitability and attachment. Quietly devastating, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

                    There's a whole lot of 'War and Peace' in those few lines. So much depth that is this living business.
