“ I feel solidarity for others who are tenaciously still alive and kicking, and I feel solidarity with those who found they could not stay, too. The living and the dead.” I love that.

Also love the exclamation “Oh my oceans!!”

Me too! It's so great. As is she.

“Oh my oceans” is such an evocative phrase! Depths and unknowable things and the expanse and neverendingness of it. Would it be too on the nose to assume she is a Pisces? Signed, a Scorpio

The Pisces thoughts were in my mind too as I read her answers. My husband is Pisces Sun but is more of a 'laid back in the shallow water kind of Pisces' but hell, is he stubborn and persistent in achieving his goals no matter how large or small! I am a Pisces Full moon right opposite the Virgo Sun, so her words also spoke to me a lot.

Lidia!!! Hello, Marvel. "I see nothing. We may sink and settle on the waves. The sea will drum in my ears. The white petals will be darkened with sea water. They will float for a moment and then sink. Rolling over the waves will shoulder me under. Everything falls in a tremendous shower, dissolving me."

Thank you so much for bringing Lidia to my attention, that TED talk brought tears to my eyes. Now to investigate her books!

Simply fabulous answers! She sounds like an amazing person and her success, strength and stubbornness seems to make it so OK to embrace being an introvert. Thank you for the introduction to Lidia, her books and her writing Caroline.

Would love to meet Lidia!! Such beautiful inspiring thoughts. I keep reading the “solidarity paragraph” and it gives me the chills I feel it so deeply.
