I love your embracing anew the idea of creator. It’s my word too for spirit, life, love, joy that I comfortably offer thanks and prayers to.

Important to me with this term is that it is my/your/our creator that is deep within and beyond each of us and not The Creator with capitals that seems to say it is separate from me and an above me kind of thing.

Totally agreed - that understanding of it changed my idea of the word completely!

This defined something for me; the desire for change and sameness at once. I love the image of the empty childhood home, still the place but devoid of its memories. Very Buddhist. I love this.

I really love this piece, and also those transitional spaces. And I love learning about the the Uwan! i am so glad you have had time in that house, in this new way. I am silently rooting for another summer for you there to continue all of the exciting projects! I really felt these in between spaces helping my uncle cross over from life to death. Such beauty in those in between spaces. And also my dad who is in a protracted liminal space. Anyhow I'm grateful for so many things today, and this writing is a highlight of this day. Thank you, Ellie!

Thank you so much Meredith! Don't tell anyone in my family you're rooting for another summer, haha....I promise there will be more projects even when the house is long gone! :)

This made me think about “the in-between” (stages, phases, feelings, places) in a new way, and with more appreciation. Thank you for sharing 💓
