I found this post deeply moving - the image of the chair, waiting for the one in need: a child, exhausted from walking, standing and being crushed just to get a small basin of food back to the starving family; a homeless mother, weary beyond belief from another night sleeping in the car with her three young children; a father bone tired from doing three jobs to pay the exhorbitant rent and put food on the table. That image of the waiting chair - I found it overwhelming, bringing tears to my eyes. The power of words.
This resonated me very deeply. That was so kool to hold space for someone. It's important that we hold space for ourselves and for others who need that. It's also a start to building a community where wombmen feel safe, connected to like minded people, a place where you can be your authentic self, unapologetically you not fearing judgement. It's time that wombmen start coming together and doing that. It's a good thing knowing that there are those who hold space for you on so many levels. It's been an important part of my journey.

I’m glad this resonated with you Rosetta. I think the communities are being built and we each need to find the one(s) that seem like the best fit.
I like the extra chair…for the seen and unseen visitor, thought, need, etc. nice!
